Question

If you had reached the venue at the right time, you ........... the Chief Guest.

• A. could have met
• B. could met
• C. could have meet
• D. will meet

Answer 1

Answer:

A. could have met

This is a third conditional sentence, used to talk about a hypothetical situation in the past — something that didn’t actually happen.

• Structure of third conditional:

  • If + past perfect, would/could/should/might have + past participle

✔ Correct structure: "could have + past participle (met)"
✔ Matches third conditional
✔ Means: Meeting the Chief Guest was possible, but it didn't happen.
