Which choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?

A

would complete

B

will have completed

C

would have completed

D

completed

Correct Answer: C

Choice C is the best answer. Past unreal conditionals use "would have + past participle."

Choice A is incorrect because it's present conditional. Choice B is incorrect because it's future perfect. Choice D is incorrect because simple past doesn't match.
