- The sentence is: "If nature ______ to degrade, the world’s economic output will suffer sooner or later."

- Let’s look at each option:

- Option 1: Continues – This is correct. “If nature continues…” uses the correct subject-verb agreement (nature is singular, so “continues”).

- Option 2: Continue – Incorrect, because it does not agree with the singular subject “nature.”

- Option 3: Continued – Incorrect, because it is past tense, but the conditional “If” needs present tense.

- Option 4: Continuing – Incorrect, as it does not fit grammatically in this sentence.

- The correct answer is Option 1: Continues.
