If we had booked earlier, we _ better seats.
Correct answer: A. Would have got
- A. Would have got
- B. Got
- C. Would get
- D. will get
Explanation
The correct answer is 'would have got' because the sentence is discussing a hypothetical situation in the past (booking earlier) that did not happen. The past perfect conditional tense 'would have got' is used to convey this. Option B is incorrect as it does not match the required conditional structure. Option C is incorrect as it uses the simple future tense 'would get' instead of the past perfect conditional tense. Option D is incorrect because it uses the future tense 'will get' instead of the past perfect conditional tense.
