Question

If you had arrived late, I ………………….. angry.


a.had been

b.would have been

c.will have been

​

Answer 1

The blank will correctly be written as:

If you had arrived late, I would have been angry.

Why is 'would have been' the correct option?

• We use 'would' for actions that we are assume might occur.

• As the sentence in the question assumes something that might have occurred in the future, hence 'would have been' will be the correct option to fill in the blank.
