Correct Answer: EASY
Knowledge: Conditional sentences type 3
The situation in the sentence is in the past tense, so when using conditional sentences, we must use type 3 sentences to express unreal wishes in the past.
Structure: If + S + had +V-ed/V3, S + would have V-ed/V3
=> The teacher would not have punished him if he had not come to class late.
