Explanation:

This question is asking us to mix the second and the third conditionals. This can be done to show how a distant past action influences actions today. All sentences using this kind of mixed conditional are hypothetical, meaning the speaker knows that what he is talking about can no longer happen.

Let's form examples with the second, third, and mixed conditionals to compare:

- Second: I would be so happy if James showed up today. → would / simple past

- Third: I would have been so happy last week if James had showed up. → would + have + past participle / past perfect

- Mixed: I would be happy today if James had given me my present last week. → would / past perfect

Notice that, in the last case, we use the past perfect to talk about a distant action in the past, and the auxiliary "would" to refer to an effect in the present.

i believe the answer is: b. mr. head had a long, tube-like face with a rounded open jaw and a short depressed nose.

this is because in the un-revised sentence it said that mr. heads face was long and tube-like, and he had a rounded open jaw. this is not a very grammatically correct because of how it seems to drag on with the and, replaced with, with, makes it sound more fluent in the description.

i think the correct answer would be adjustments in life roles.  this causes for one to adjust or change totally his/her career or lifestyle since the present is not beneficial to the life role he is at. for instance, you became a mother you would of course stop going to malls and enjoying life outside. you would be staying at home taking care of your child.
