Sentence is started with 'had' means it should be question.

Kavita said:   1 decade ago
I feel A is the answer because it should be "If you had not".

Please correct me if I am wrong.

I don't see any mistake in the sentence. I mean, how does it matter who loses our belongings? he or we.

@Sourav you are right I think no matter who loses our belongings?

Saiqua said:   1 decade ago
Why not reached on time?

Neeraj said:   1 decade ago
'We' should be used as the sentence says 'our' belongings and not 'his' belongings.

i.e He would have lost all his belongings' or we would have lost all our belongings.

He could have lost our belongings as well. Like he was clumsy and broke out stuff.

Two error in it:

1. Why not reached ON time?

2. He would have lost ALL OUR belongings.

I too agree that the answer should be option A.

Praveen said:   9 years ago
According to my understanding, it is a conditional sentence and it should be like this.

If you not reached in time.
