Explanation: In this exercise they are asking you to fill out the blank with the most appropriate tense, noun, adjective, or pronoun. Just to elaborate a little on some of the answers, it can be added that airlines compel or force people to pay for extra luggage. Unmitigated means total or absolute. If the present conditional (would) is used in a sentence that also includes an if clause, the tense in the if clause must be the simple past, and if the perfect conditional (would have) is used in a sentence that also includes an if clause, the tense in the if clause must be the past perfect. When an action takes place daily or routinely in the present, we use the simple present to describe it or talk about it. To feign an illness is to fake it. A splurge is a very lavish spending. If the test was not that difficult, then the student must not have worried so much about it—but he did, hence the use of the perfect tense.
