Choose the correct option to complete the sentence given below:

Seeing me stumble a few times he held my hand ______ I should fall.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

'Lest' means 'for fear that' and is the conjunction that pairs with 'should': he held my hand lest I should fall. 'Until', 'unless' and 'if' do not convey the sense of precaution and do not fit with 'should' here.
