Instructions
In questions given below, a part of the sentence is italicised and underlined. Below are given alternatives to the italicised part which may improve the sentence. Choose the correct alternative. In case no improvement is needed, option 'D' is the answer.
Solution
The sentence is a third conditional (conditional type 3), which talks about unreal past situations and their possible outcomes. The correct structure for the "if" clause in a third conditional is: If + past perfect (had + past participle), ... would have + past participle.
So, the improved sentence should be: "If he had tried, he would have succeeded."
The other options don’t fit the correct conditional structure. Hence, option C is the correct choice.
