Correct option is C
Correct Sentence: (c)
Had they adhered strictly to the guidelines, the irregularities would not have occurred.
Explanation:
· This is a correct example of
third conditional sentence structure.
· “Had they adhered” is an
inverted form of “If they had adhered.”
· Structure:
Had + subject + past participle, ...
would have + past participle.
Incorrect Sentences:
· (a) ❌
“Insisted to take” is wrong. Correct usage is
“insisted on taking.”
· (b) ❌ Subject is
“many of whom”, which is plural → should be
“have served” not “has served.”
(d) ❌ “The number of applicants” is a
singular subject, so the verb should be
“does” not “do.”
