Complete the sentence by choosing the correct form from the given alternatives
She would have gone, _____
She would have gone, _____
- if she was in your position.
- if she were in your position.
- if she has been in your position.
- if she had been in your position.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D - if she had been in your position.
"Would have gone" is the result clause of the third conditional, about an unreal past, so the if-clause needs the past perfect: if she had been in your position. "If she were" belongs to the second conditional, which pairs with "would go", and "was" and "has been" do not express an unreal past condition.
