Should Dr Wade be right, any apparent connection between highly processed foods and excelling at sports is purely coincidental.

Can anybody please explain where is the mistake in the above sentence? Also explain rules related to sentences with the above types (conditional type with SHOULD)?

I think you meant this:

Should Dr Wade be right, any apparent connection between eating highly processed foods and excelling at sports is purely coincidental.

The sentence looks grammatically correct.

I think you are referring to this question:

If you are interested in knowing the difference between the following two sentences, then refer this link.

Should Dr Wade be right, any apparent connection between eating highly processed foods and excelling at sports is purely coincidental.

If Dr. Wade was right, any apparent connection between eating highly processed foods and excelling at sports is purely coincidental.

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.
