Question

Each sentence below has been broken up into four parts sequentially (a, b, c, d). Choose the part which contains a mistake.

• A. Had you been in my
• B. position, you were definitely
• C. shown your displeasure
• D. at the turn of events.

Hint:

In third conditional sentences, pair “Had + past participle” with “would have + past participle” for correct grammar.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understanding tense consistency The structure “Had you been…” indicates a past perfect hypothetical condition. The result clause should use “would have” not “were.” Step 2: Correction Correct form: “Had you been in my position, you would have definitely shown your displeasure…” Step 3: Error cause The use of “were” breaks the conditional structure and makes the sentence grammatically inconsistent.
