    Question

    Select the option that will improve the bold part of the

    given sentence. If she was here earlier , she would have seen the event.
    A she will be here earlier Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B she were here earlier Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C she had been here earlier Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D she would be here earlier Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The sentence talks about a past unreal condition (third conditional), so the correct form is “had been” (past perfect) in the if clause.
    “If she had been here earlier, she would have seen the event.”
    Using “was” is incorrect here because it refers to simple past, not past perfect.Other options do not fit the conditional structure.
