Explanation

The correct answer is "would have taken off". This is because the sentence is in the past unreal conditional form, indicating a hypothetical situation in the past.

The phrase "would have taken off" expresses the idea that if the hypothetical condition had been met (i.e., if Dennis had been in the right place at the right time), his career would have experienced significant growth or success.

While losing your keys can also be problematic, it is generally easier to replace keys compared to the potential consequences of losing a wallet.

Submit
