If the train hadn't been late, we _ the seminar.
Correct answer: B. Would have attended
- A. Will attend
- B. Would have attended
- C. Would attend
- D. Attended
Explanation
The correct answer is 'would have attended' because it accurately reflects the past perfect conditional tense needed in this context. The conditional clause 'If the train hadn't been late' sets up a scenario that did not happen, requiring the use of 'would have' in the main clause. The other options use different tenses that do not align with the unreal past condition presented in the sentence.
