Answer 2

Answer:  

'It looks as if it might rain' is a predictive clause.

Explanation:  

The conditional sentences are those which depend on the consequences of facts and hypothetical situations. They are dependent on certain conditions which occur naturally.  

There are two types of conditional sentences - imperative and predictive. If the situation is a future event and hypothetical in nature, then it is called predictive conditional clause.

In the given sentence, it looks as if it might rain. So, this is a predictive clause.

By seeing the clouds,  we can predict that it might rain.
