In this question, select the option that best explains the information conveyed in the sentence.

If he were here, it could be more fun. This means that

  1. He was expected but did not show up to make the occasion lively
  2. There was no fun because he was not present
  3. He did not show up so the occasion lacked much fun ✓
  4. He was being expected to supply more fun
Explanation

“If he were here” is a wish about something not true. It means he was not present.

“It could be more fun” says the event would have been more fun with him. So it lacked fun without him.

“He did not show up so the occasion lacked much fun” says this. The other options add ideas not in the sentence, such as that he was expected to supply the fun.
