1. Question
Replace the phrase given in bold to make it grammatically correct.

Replace the phrase given in bold to make it grammatically correct.
No matter what experience you have had with forest fires, if you would have witnessed the fire roaring down through the canyon, you would have been terrified.
Hint
Would is a modal and it’s use here is unnecessary. There is a ‘would have’ in the second part of the sentence but it should not be repeated in the first one, because the use of ‘would have’ is done as a possibility of an affect of something done in past. So generally would have will be followed by a past perfect verb.

The third answer choice is the right option because ‘suspicious to Indian’ is not an appropriate usage.
