Had we known the result, we _ earlier.
Correct answer: C. Would have left
- A. Leave
- B. Would leave
- C. Would have left
- D. Left
Explanation
The correct answer is Option C: 'would have left'. In this sentence, the past perfect tense is required to indicate that the action of leaving earlier would have happened if we had known the result. Options A, B, and D do not accurately reflect the conditional nature of the sentence and are therefore incorrect.
