IPMAT Indore 2023 - VA Q68 Explanation

Explanation:

(c)

The original sentence uses a conditional construction with the past perfect "had refused" in the first part and a hypothetical situation in the second part ("If it had been him in his friend’s place"). Therefore, the correct structure to use in the second part is the past perfect in the conditional "would have definitely accepted."

The correct sentence is: "If it had been him in his friend’s place, he would have definitely accepted such an offer."

Now, let's analyze the incorrect options:

have definitely have accepted such an offer: This option incorrectly uses "have" twice. The correct construction is "would have definitely accepted."

have definitely accept such an offer: This option lacks the past participle "accepted." The correct structure for the conditional is "would have definitely accepted."

have definitely accepted such an offer: This is the correct choice. It uses the past perfect "have accepted" in the hypothetical situation.

definitely accepted such an offer: This option lacks the conditional "would have." In the context of a hypothetical situation, the correct structure is "would have definitely accepted."
