Answer: B. gets some rest

1. Identify the conditional type from the main clause: The main clause 'She will feel much better' uses 'will + base verb', confirming a Type 1 conditional. Type 1 conditionals use simple present in the if-clause.
2. Choose between simple present and present continuous: Option B 'gets some rest' — simple present, agrees with 'she' (third person singular with -s). Option D 'is getting some rest' — present continuous, describes an action happening now rather than a hypothetical future condition. The conditional context requires simple present.
3. Confirm the answer: 'She will feel much better if she gets some rest.' — correct Type 1 conditional with simple present in the if-clause and future 'will' in the main clause.
