Answer 1

Answer:

point 'a' is the correct if clause which can used in this

Answer 2

If the house had been cheap I would have bought it.

Option (b) is correct.

Explanation:

There are three conditional tenses with if main clause.

If clause > simple present > main clause > future (will)

If clause > simple past > main clause > would

If clause > past perfect > main clause > would have

This is example of 3rd clause rule.

Therefore the sentence will be written as;

If the house had been cheap I would have bought it.
