Justin couldn’t understand why his friend had refused to work in a company that offered him a huge salary. If it had been him in his friend’s place, he would definitely accepted such an offer.

Solution

Correct Option: 4

This question tests third conditional structure.

The third conditional expresses hypothetical situations in the past using "If + past perfect, would have + past participle." It's like saying "What if things had been different back then?" For example: "If I had studied harder, I would have passed the exam."

Option 1 → Wrong verb form - "accept" should be "accepted" after "have."

Option 2 → Double trouble - using "have" twice makes it grammatically incorrect.

Option 3 → Missing the "have" - incomplete conditional structure without the auxiliary.

Option 4 → Perfect fit - completes "would have definitely accepted" correctly.
