If you ________ in his position, what ____ you _____? (do)

• A. had been, would, have done
• B. are, will, do
• C. are, are, going to do
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

had been, would, have done

The subjunctive mood is used in subordinate clauses and refers to unreal or improbable present or future situations. The past subjunctive has the same form as the simple past tense.

As a rule, the past form of 'will' is 'would' and 'would' is used as a modal verb to indicate a conditional or subjunctive mood.

Thus, according to the rules, the correct answer will be Option A. The other remaining options are incorrect.

Option B expresses indicative mood.

Option C expresses interrogative mood.
