Problem 6 - Entrance Test

If he ______ the train, he would be here by now.

Correct: A

This is a Mixed Conditional sentence (Type 3 in the 'if' clause, Type 2 in the main clause). It describes a past hypothetical condition ('if he hadn't missed the train') leading to a present result ('he would be here by now'). The past perfect tense is used in the 'if' clause for the past condition.
