Ответ:
1. B: Well, if that talent scout hadn't spotted (not/spot) him last year, he would never have **made** (never/make) it on his own.
*Explanation:* This is a mixed conditional. The 'if' clause refers to a past event (the talent scout spotting him), and the main clause refers to a result continuing into the present. Thus, the past perfect is used in the 'if' clause and 'would have + past participle' in the main clause.
2. B: If I **don't have** (not/have) to finish this report, I **will come** (come).
*Explanation:* This is a first conditional. The speaker is talking about a possible future event (finishing the report) and its consequences. Thus, 'simple present' is used in the 'if' clause and 'will + base form' in the main clause.
3. B: If we **leave** (leave) now, we **will have** (have) plenty of time.
*Explanation:* This is a first conditional. The speaker is talking about a possible future event (leaving now) and its consequences. Thus, 'simple present' is used in the 'if' clause and 'will + base form' in the main clause.
4. B: Fantastic. I'm sure you **would have loved** (love) it if you **had been** (be) there.
*Explanation:* This is a mixed conditional. 'Would have loved' indicates a hypothetical past experience based on the condition of having been there.
5. B: Doesn't he? If that **were** (be) me up there, I **would feel** (feel) very nervous right now!
*Explanation:* This is a second conditional. This describes a hypothetical or unlikely situation in the present. Therefore, we use 'were' and 'would feel'.
6. B: It's a flavour you **get** (get) when you **mix** (mix) coffee and chocolate.
*Explanation:* This is a zero conditional, used to express a general truth or fact. The simple present tense is used in both clauses.
