  15. THIRD CONDITIONAL Which is a 3rd Conditional sentence? If we travelled to new galaxies, we could discover new planets. If governments had invested more money in the space programme, we might have colonized Mars by now. If the government spends more money on research, we will see more advances in space exploration.

  16. Answer: b) If governments had invested more money in the space programme, we might have colonized Mars by now. THIRD CONDITIONAL
