SSC CPO 2024 PYQ — Question 37

SSC CPO - 29 June 2024 - Shift 1 • English • Q37

Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence.

Had I known that you were planning to visit me, I should have done all the necessary arrangements.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. I would have made.

'Would have' is used to talk about a hypothetical or unrealized action in the past. Here, the unrealized action is the speaker making the necessary arrangements.

'Done' will be replaced by 'made' because the correct verb to always use with arrangements is make and not done. You make arrangements, not do arrangements.

For eg:- They'd made all the arrangements for the part. 

Thus, the correct sentence is- Had I known that you were planning to visit me, I I would have made all the necessary arrangements.
