Fill in the blank with the most appropriate modal:
If Shreya had checked the weather report, she ______ her umbrella at home.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → would not have left
Would have + past participle (V3) after “If ... had”:
- We use If + had + V3 for a past situation that did not happen.
- The result part then takes would have + V3.
- “If Shreya had checked” shows that she did not check the weather report. So the imagined result is “would not have left”.
- Complete sentence: If Shreya had checked the weather report, she would not have left her umbrella at home.
