If you hadn't interrupted, he _ his point.
Correct answer: B. Would have finished
- A. Finishes
- B. Would have finished
- C. Finished
- D. Will have finished
Explanation
The correct answer is 'would have finished' because it follows the third conditional structure which is used to talk about unreal past situations. In this case, the interruption prevented the completion of the action. Option A is incorrect as it uses the simple present tense which is not suitable for this context. Option C is incorrect as it uses the simple past tense which does not convey the unreal nature of the situation. Option D is incorrect as it uses the future perfect tense which is not appropriate for this sentence.
