I wouldn't have gone there if I _ it was dangerous.
Correct answer: C. Had known
- A. Know
- B. Knew
- C. Had known
- D. Would have known
Explanation
In this sentence, the correct form to use is 'had known.' The structure 'I wouldn't have gone there if I had known it was dangerous' indicates a past unreal condition where the speaker did not know it was dangerous, which led to them not going. The other options do not correctly convey this past unreal condition and are therefore incorrect.
