Question

Choose the appropriate "if" clause.
If you had studied for the test, you ........... been confident.

• A. should have
• B. shouldn't have
• C. wouldn't have
• D. would have

Hint:

Third conditional refers to missed opportunities in the past using “would have + V3”.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The sentence describes an unreal situation in the past.
This is a third conditional structure:

“If + past perfect, would have + past participle”.
So, “If you had studied, you would have been confident.”


Other options don’t fit the standard conditional format.
