In this question, select the option that best explains the information conveyed in the sentence.
If he were here, it could be more fun.
He was expected but did not show up to liven up the occasion.
The sentence "If he were here, it could be more fun" suggests that someone was expected to be present to add enjoyment or liveliness to the occasion, but they did not show up. Option B best explains this situation.
Option A - "He did not show up and so the occasion lacked much fun" is also a reasonable interpretation of the sentence. Both Option A and Option B convey the idea that the person's absence resulted in the occasion lacking fun. The key distinction is that Option B emphasizes the expectation of the person's presence, while Option A emphasizes their actual absence. Both interpretations capture the essence of the sentence, but Option B is slightly more specific in highlighting the expectation.
