Options for question 213

Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer A

Correct answer: A

Explanation

  1. "If" begins the condition: S "if you had told", and "told" needs whom and what: Q.

  2. T says when and ends the condition, then gives the result, "I could", which needs "have" and a past form: P. R finishes it.

  3. So the order is SQTPR: "If you had told me about the problem earlier, I could have helped you fix it."

Worth noting

QSTPR opens with "me about the problem", which has no verb before it.
