I had gotten to the hotel two hours ago, but my flight was delayed.

Answer 2

Answer:

would have

Explanation:

In this sentence, the correct way to fill in the blanks would be by using "would have." The form "would+have+been" is called a modal verb. Modal verbs express a present feeling or opinion about a past situation. These are often used to talk about regrets or lost opportunities. In this example, the speaker uses it to talk about a situation that was possible at some point but that did not happen.
