She wouldn't be so tired if she _ to bed earlier
Correct answer: B. Went
- A. Goes
- B. Went
- C. Had gone
- D. Will go
Explanation
The correct answer is Option B: went. In the sentence, the condition 'She wouldn't be so tired' indicates a hypothetical situation in the past. Therefore, the correct verb form to use is the past tense 'went.' Option A is incorrect because it is in the present tense. Option C is incorrect as it uses the past perfect tense unnecessarily. Option D is incorrect as it is in the future tense, which is not suitable for the sentence context.
