Respuesta :

Answer: A. To show a possibility of Steve winning the gold medal

Explanation:

Answer:

The answer is #1

Explanation:

Conditional mood is used to express events that are not real but could have been if certain other events or facts were to be true. They are called conditional because usually the second part of the sentence "he would have won the gold medal easily" depends on the first part of the sentence "If Steve had taken part in the swimming competition." Therefore, the correct answer is "to show a possibility of Steve winning the gold medal."
