Had she listened, she _ the instructions.
Correct answer: B. Would have understood
- A. Would understand
- B. Would have understood
- C. Had understood
- D. Understands
Explanation
The correct answer is 'would have understood' because it correctly reflects the past perfect conditional tense needed in the sentence. 'Would understand' is in the simple future tense, 'had understood' is in the past perfect tense without the conditional aspect, and 'understands' is in the simple present tense, making them all incorrect choices.
