Two implicitly specified distinct subjects in a single sentence


Consider the following sentences.

> A: **私は** 相手に安過ぎる質が低い物をあげれば、 **相手は** 怒る可能性がある。

Is it natural and understandable if I remove the subjects as follows?

> B: 相手に安過ぎる質が低い物をあげれば、怒る可能性がある。




Yes, it's even preferred form (if you do add 私が, then the listener might think
there is an emphasis there - as in `If *I* give...`)

Apart from that, I would correct your sentences as follows:

> A: 私が相手に、安過ぎる、質が低い物をあげれば、相手は怒る可能性がある。
>
> B: 相手に、安過ぎる、質が低い物をあげれば、怒る可能性がある。

This is because 安過ぎる質が低い物 would be considered hard to read and it's customary
to add 句読点 in this sort of cases.
