Wären wir früher losgefahren, ___ wir den Stau vermieden.

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: D. hätten

  1. Step 1: The conditional clause without 'wenn' has the verb first. Step 2. The main clause needs the past unreal 'hätten ... vermieden'. Answer: hätten. Why not the others: these forms do not give the past unreal.
