Answer 1

In this question, fill each gap with the most appropriate option from the list provided. Without our relentless campaigns, we might ….. sure of victory in the race for the National Assembly.

never have been ✓
have never be
never had been
be never

Explanation

The sentence is about something that did not happen: “we might never have been sure of victory”. After a modal verb like “might”, we use have plus the past participle.

The adverb “never” goes between the modal and “have”. So the pattern is might + never + have + been.

“Have never be”, “never had been” and “be never” break this pattern.
