He would have won the race.........

only if he could run fast

if he had run faster

although he run faster

Answer Details

The word or group of words that best completes the sentence is "if he had run faster." The sentence is in the past tense ("would have won"), which indicates that the race is already over. The speaker is speculating about what might have happened if the person being referred to had run differently in the past. The correct option to complete the sentence is "if he had run faster," which is a hypothetical statement in the past perfect tense. This suggests that if the person had run faster in the past, he would have won the race. The other options do not fit the tense and structure of the sentence, making "if he had run faster" the most appropriate choice.
