B: Well, ________ , had the weather been better.

• A. he should have done
• B. he might've done
• C. he has done
• D. he must have done

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

he might've done

The context refers to the probability or possibility of an action happening in the past. Thus, option B "he might've done" is correct as it implies that something was possible now or at some time in the past.
"Should have done" is incorrect as the modal shouldsuggests that something is true or will be true in the future and to show that you have reasons for your suggestion.
"He has done" is incorrect as it indicates an action that took place in the past. This does not concur with the context.
"He must have done" is incorrect as it implies a fact that occurred in the past.
Thus, option B is correct.
