In the question below choose the word(s) or phrase(s) which best fills(s) the gap(s):
How i wish i _____ my mother's advice
Answer Details
The correct option to fill the gap is "had heeded".
The phrase "How I wish" indicates regret about something that has already happened, and the context suggests that the speaker did not follow their mother's advice in the past. The phrase "had heeded" is in the past perfect tense, which indicates an action that was not completed in the past. Therefore, the phrase "had heeded" best fits the context.
The other options are not appropriate because they do not indicate regret about something that was not done in the past. "Have heeded" is in the present perfect tense, which suggests that the speaker has already followed their mother's advice. "Heed" and "will heed" are in the present tense and future tense, respectively, which do not fit the context of regret about a past action.
