Question 1 Report

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

If it had rained, we would have had to postpone the concert. It didn't rain, so _____

Answer Details
The best option to fill the gap in the sentence is "we didn't have to." The sentence is a conditional statement in the past perfect tense, which refers to a hypothetical situation in the past. The first part of the sentence states the condition that did not happen, i.e., "If it had rained." The second part of the sentence talks about the result of that condition, which did not occur. Therefore, "we didn't have to" is the correct choice because it means that the concert did not need to be postponed since it did not rain. The other options are grammatically incorrect or do not match the context of the sentence.
