B. If he were able to​ sew, he could have put this button back on the shirt.

C. If he was able to​ sew, he could have put this button back on the shirt.

D. If he would be able to​ sew, he could have put this button back on the shirt.

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is B. If he were able to​ sew, he could have put this button back on the shirt.

Explanation: This sentence contains an untrue clause beginning with if​, and that calls for the subjunctive were.

Answer 2

Answer: The answer to this would simply be (B.). I am very good at grammar. I know for a fact the first one would not make any sense. And also c and d are talking in past and future tense. So that does not make sense. Hope this helps. :)
