Đáp án B

Giải thích: Giữa hai câu có mối quan hệ nguyên nhân – kết quả.

Dịch nghĩa: Bạn đã không lắng nghe tôi ngay từ đầu. Ngay bây giờ thì bạn đang gặp rắc rối.

Phương án B. Had you listened to my advice in the first place, you wouldn’t be in trouble right now sử dụng cấu trúc đảo ngữ với câu điều kiện trộn lẫn loại 3 – 2, với điều kiện đã xảy ra trong quá khứ nhưng kết quả thì liên quan đến hiện tại:

Had + S + V(phân từ), S + would + V(nguyên thể)

Dịch nghĩa: Nếu bạn đã lắng nghe lời khuyên của tôi ngay từ đầu, bạn sẽ không gặp rắc rối ngay bây giờ.

Đây là phương án có nghĩa của câu sát với nghĩa câu gốc nhất.

          A. If you had listened to my advice in the first place, you wouldn’t have been in trouble right now = Nếu bạn đã lắng nghe lời khuyên của tôi ngay từ đầu, bạn đã không gặp rắc rối ngay bây giờ.

Câu điều kiện loại 3 dùng để diễn tả điều kiện và kết quả đã xảy ra trong quá khứ, còn vế kết quả của câu gốc liên quan đến hiện tại nên không thể dùng câu điều kiện loại 3.

          C. If you listened to my advice in the first place, you wouldn’t be in trouble right now = Nếu bạn lắng nghe lời khuyên của tôi ngay từ đầu, bạn sẽ không gặp khó khăn ngay bây giờ.

Câu điều kiện loại 2 dùng để diễn tả điều kiện và kết quả liên quan đến hiện tại nhưng không thể xảy ra, còn vế điều kiện của câu gốc liên quan đến quá khứ nên không thể dùng câu điều kiện loại 2.

          D. Were you to listen to my advice in the first place, you wouldn’t be in trouble right now = Nếu bạn lắng nghe lời khuyên của tôi ngay từ đầu, bạn sẽ không gặp khó khăn ngay bây giờ.

Đây là cấu trúc đảo ngữ của câu điều kiện loại 2 nên cũng không chính xác.
