Question : Select the most appropriate word to fill in the blank.
If only we ______ a light! It is depressing to wait in the dark.
Option 1: are having
Option 2: have
Option 3: had
Option 4: have had
Correct Answer: had
Solution : The third option is the correct choice.
Explanation : The sentence is a conditional construction from the past, an unreal condition. The correct structure for such sentences is "If only + subject + past perfect (had) + past participle". The use of had shows it is in the subjunctive mood, expressing a hypothetical or unreal situation.
Therefore, the complete sentence is: "If only we had a light! It is depressing to wait in the dark."
