If only she _ earlier, we wouldn't have missed it.
Correct answer: B. Had come
- A. Came
- B. Had come
- C. Would come
- D. Has come
Explanation
The correct answer is 'had come' because the sentence structure requires the past perfect tense to show that the action of 'coming' happened before the action of 'missing it.' The other options are incorrect as they do not align with the required tense and timing of the actions in the sentence.
