In case no improvement is needed, choose the option ‘No improvement’. I had to run to the library as though it would be closed down for the day.  Correct Answer Lest it should be

The sentence uses the form as though it would be, which is incorrect and needs improvement.

Running to the library 'as if' it is closed does not make a meaningful statement.

The meaningful statement would be running to library 'to avoid' its being closed down.

Lest- conjunction - with the intention of preventing; to avoid the risk of something.

e.g. I closed the window, lest the cold wind should come in.

The only alternative that improves the sentence is Lest it should be.

None of the other alternatives can make the sentence meaningful.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 2.
