Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence. If there is no need to substitute it, select ‘No substitution’.
Rita will never have changed her job if she would have been promoted.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. would never have.
- Since, the given sentence is in the past tense. Use of 'will' in the given sentence is erroneous.
- Will indicates a future perfect tense, which goes in contradiction with the tense of rest of the sentence.
- So, we need to replace 'will' with its past form i.e., would.
Therefore, the corrected sentence will be:
Rita would never have changed her job if she would have been promoted.
