Flashcards: Verb, pronoun, and modifier forms

Jimmy is annoyed at the video game that he was playing. For one thing, there was not nearly enough interesting characters suspenseful moments or exciting escapes in the game to satisfy him. For another, it was incredibly hard while playing the game to control the cars. It always wanted to veer to the left when he tried to steer to the right. But the ending of the game was worst. By the time he got to the end, the hero had decided to stop chasing rogue spies and therefore marry his girlfriend, a surprise attack resulted in her being kidnapped, and the hero must go on a final mission to save her before the game can be completed. That would of been fine, except it involved tracking the enemy using a helicopter, and Jimmy much to his chagrin never mastered flying the helicopter.

Your answer:

will be

Correct answer:

could be

Explanation:

The phrase "could be" signals the necessity of getting through the mission to finish the game and the past tense of the action. "Before the game could be completed" could also be phrased: "before the game could possibly be completed," without altering the meaning at all (but maybe making the phrase redundant).
