Answer:

First conditional.

Step-by-step explanation:

In English language, conditional tense are used to speculate or express actions, events or things that have happened in the past, likely to happen in the future or what we wish would happen.

Basically, there are five (5) main types of conditional tense and these include;

I. Zero conditional: it is used to express thoughts that are always true because they are a general (universal) truth. It uses the simple present (if clause verb tense) and the simple present (main clause verb tense).

II. First conditional (Type 1): it's used to speculate about a possible condition alongside its probable result. It uses the simple present (if clause verb tense) and the simple future (main clause verb tense).

III. Second conditional (Type 2): it's used to speculate about a hypothetical condition alongside its probable result. It uses the simple past (if clause verb tense) and the present conditional or present continuous conditional (main clause verb tense).

IV. Third conditional (Type 3): it's used to speculate about an unreal condition alongside its probable result in the past. It uses the past perfect (if clause verb tense) and the perfect conditional (main clause verb tense).

V. Mixed conditional: it's used to speculate about an unreal condition alongside its probable result in the present. It uses the past perfect (if clause verb tense) and the present conditional (main clause verb tense).

Matching the type of conditional tense to the appropriate sentence, we have;

1. First conditional: Lea will go to Nust next year, if she meets requirements.
