[Answer]
二度と遅刻するなと先生に言われたのに、今日も遅刻(1 しようものなら)どんなに怒られるか。
Even though my teacher told me never to be late again, if I were late again today, I can’t imagine how angry they’d be.
〜（よ）うものなら
= “If you ever do ~ , something terrible will happen.”
It warns that if you do something, a very bad result will follow.
Structure:
Verb volitional form + ものなら
する dictionary-form
しよう volitional-form
しよう＋ものなら
In this sentence:
The speaker was already warned not to be late.
So, being late again would be a very bad idea!
That’s why 「しようものなら」 is the perfect fit.
✖ Other choices:
2 したあげく
= “After doing a lot, it ended up…”
Used for past outcomes, not a hypothetical warning.
3 するどころか
= “Far from A; actually B (the opposite).”
4 するくらいなら
= “if (you’re going to) do A, then B is better.”
I hope this explanation helps! 😊
