Grammar
Are a and c both correct?
--Tom, did Mr Li join you in your discussion?
--No, he___, but he happened to have fallen ill.
A. would like to
B. will
C. was to have
I think a can be correct in the case that a "have" is put in between "would" and "liked" so that it becomes "would have liked to". Right?

'Was to have' is indicative.
