In the question below choose the word(s) or phrase(s) which best fills(s) the gap(s):

If had been told of the matter earlier, i _____ there so late

The sentence is in past perfect tense. The speaker is regretting that they arrived late somewhere because they were not informed earlier. 'Would not have gone' is the correct option because it represents the past perfect subjunctive mood, and indicates an action that did not happen in the past.
