Correct Answer: 2
Solution : The correct choice to improve the sentence is the second option.
It uses the past conditional tense "would have given", which is appropriate in the context of the second part of the sentence as per the third conditional. It correctly conveys the idea that the brother was willing to give his car in the past if he had been asked.
The option "would gladly give" is incorrect because it does not match the past conditional tense and "would gladly gave" is grammatically wrong. These options do not maintain consistency in tenses and thus are incorrect to use.
Thus, the correct statement is "My brother would have gladly given you his car if you had asked him."
