Back to paper

Select the option that will improve the underlined part of the given sentence.

Adyasha would have been looked gorgeous in ethnic apparel.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. would have looked.

  • In the given context 'would have looked' is the past perfect form expressing the possibility of a situation.
  • The structure to form the correct sentence would be:
    • Subject + Modal + Main Verb + Object.
  • 'Been' used in the sentence is grammatically incorrect because after the modal 'would have' comes the main verb 'looked'(past participle) to make the statement grammatically correct and meaningful.

Hence, the correct statement would be 'Adyasha would have looked gorgeous in ethnic apparel.'
