1:

Had I been a little early, I would not have missed the train.

A.

Had I been a little early, I would not have missed the train.

B.

Had I been a little early than now, I would not have missed the train.

C.

Had I been a little earlier, I would not have missed the train.

D.

Had I only been a little early than now, I would not have missed the train.

 

Answer : A

Explanation :

All the statements have the correct combination of tenses. So, we need not check it. Let us find the errors in other statements. 'Early than now' and 'earlier' suggest that I reached early; in that case, I did not miss the train. So, choices (b), (c), and (d) do not state the same idea as in the question statement. Hence correct choice is (a).
