Each named trait still characterises the person today. Select all sentences whose conditional form itself encodes that still-current trait, using a past-simple condition with a would-have result for the named past occasion.

If Bo had a naturally curious temperament, he would have asked about the fossil during Tuesday's tour.Respuesta correcta

Explicación

The patience and natural-curiosity sentences use the requested pattern: a past-simple condition presenting the trait as current, with a would-have result for the specific past occasion. The reserved and lifelong-curiosity sentences are built on past-perfect conditions, which present the trait as belonging to the earlier time and so do not themselves encode the still-current characteristic the instruction requires.
