If I had known about the meeting, I _.
Correct answer: B. Would have come
- A. Would come
- B. Would have come
- C. Will come
- D. Come
Explanation
The correct answer is Option B: 'would have come.' In past unreal conditional sentences, the structure requires the use of 'would have' followed by the past participle of the main verb. In this case, 'had known' is the past perfect form indicating a hypothetical situation in the past. Options A, C, and D do not follow this structure and are therefore incorrect.
