He would ______ (attempt, manage) to add something, but she stopped him.
The given answer is 'attempt'. But I think 'manage' is fine too. And I also think we should change the main clause into 'He would have attempted/managed to add something (with the subbordinate clause 'if she hadn't stopped him' left out). Am I right?
Thank you in advance.
