Complete the sentence. I would have bought a gift, if

Ayou called me on your birthday

Byou had called me on your birthday

Cyou would call me on your birthday

Dyou call me on your birthday

Answer:

B. you had called me on your birthday

Read Explanation:

  • "if you had called me on your birthday," is in the past perfect tense and is used to express a past unreal condition, which fits the structure "I would have bought a gift" and the hypothetical situation (സാങ്കൽപ്പിക) in the sentence.
  • "you called me on your birthday" - This option is in the simple past tense
  • "you would call me on your birthday" - This option uses "would" in the conditional clause, but it doesn't create the past unreal condition needed for the sentence. It implies a future event rather than a past one. 
  • "you call me on your birthday" - This option is in the simple present tense. It suggests a real or habitual action, not a hypothetical or unreal one.
