hi again,
To would use to be “past unreal conditional” it has to be used with if.
for instance:
If I were president, I would cut the cost of education (in this case we understand that he is not actually president but just imagines this hypothetical situation.)

But since in our stiuation there is no “if” it is clearly not conditional.
By the way I showed the question to an English teacher and he told me that both answers were correct.So now I am wondering how it could be possible since this was a official ACT question
