| List-I | List-II | Explanation |
|---|---|---|

| (B) Should your internet go off during the online test, | (IV) inform the invigilator through the chat box at once. | Should + subject + verb means “if your internet goes off”. It is followed by an instruction, and the invigilator fits the online test. |
