    Directions: In each of the questions, a sentence has

    been divided into four parts, one of which may contain an error. Identify that fragment and mark it as your answer. If I had known about the (A)/ traffic delays earlier, (B)/ I had taken an alternative route (C)/ through the scenic countryside. (D)/ No error
    A A Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B B Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    This question is based on the rules of conditional sentences, specifically the third conditional. The third conditional is used to talk about a situation that did not happen in the past and to imagine the result if it had happened. It typically follows the pattern: "If + past perfect, would have + past participle." In this case, the correct sentence should have been: "If I had known about the traffic delays earlier, I would have taken an alternative route through the scenic countryside."
