Answer 2

The correct completion of the sentence would be:

"If you were ever in trouble, I would give you all the help you need."

The difference between "needed" and "need" in this context is the tense:

• "Need" is in the present tense. It implies that you would give the help that is currently required in the future if the situation arises.

• "Needed" is in the past tense. It would imply that you would have given the help that was required in the past if the situation had arisen, but it doesn't convey the same sense of readiness to help in the future as "need" does in this sentence.

In the sentence you provided, "would give" is already indicating a future conditional action, so "need" is the correct choice to maintain that future sense.
