ellipted use of "would"
Hi,
Is this a case of an ellipted use of the modal "would"? I sometimes am not so sure of using this kind of ellipted uses.Do you think if situtions render themselves some what clearly to the use, should I be also feel good about using the ellipted version? The phrase is "would choose".
From the google book search:

Yes, and this sort of ellipted if-clause is extremely common:
Which of the two starting points someone would choose [if s/he decided to choose]...
What would you say to a movie tonight [if I asked you]?
Would you give me your autograph [if I'm not being impertinent]?
Etc.
