Hope that helps..

Hi,

I think the correct answer has to be

"Should Dr Wade be right, any apparent connection between highly processed foods and excelling <b>in</b> sports is purely coincidental."

Never heard of "excelling at". Its always "excelling in".

Hi,

If you check the answer from OG for the choice B, the answer says that Should Dr Wade be right should not be followed by the present indicative verb is. Can someone explain me what the indicative verb should be: will? what is the difference between if-condition clause and should-condition clause?

Thank you very much.
