Answer 1

I was afraid that if I asked him again he would refuse

Answer 2

Answer:

I was afraid that if I asked him again he might refuse.

Explanation:

The sentence started with I and verb used is ‘was’. Hence, the sentence is in past tense. Hence, the whole sentence has to be in past tense. Conjunctions ‘that’ and ‘if’ are used to join sentences. Accordingly, one has to use the past tense. Using ‘may’ will make sentence wrong. Hence, past tense of may i.e. might will be the correct answer.
