Medium

Fill in the blank with the correct option.

I ______ on Thursday. But on Thursday I had a terrible cold, so I decided to wait till Saturday.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Option 1 -> "am to leave" is present tense and doesn't match the past context of the sentence.

Option 2 -> "was to have left" correctly expresses a past plan or intention that was not fulfilled.

Option 3 -> "would leave" suggests a conditional or habitual action but doesn't clearly indicate an unfulfilled plan.

Option 4 -> "will be leaving" is future tense and contradicts the past events described.

Hence, Option 2: was to have left -> The structure "was to have + past participle" is used to express a past arrangement or plan that did not actually happen. The speaker had planned to leave on Thursday, but due to having a cold, the plan was not executed and was postponed to Saturday -> correct
