Explanation:

This question is asking us to mix the second and the third conditionals. This can be done to show how a distant past action influences actions today. All sentences using this kind of mixed conditional are hypothetical, meaning the speaker knows that what he is talking about can no longer happen.

Let's form examples with the second, third, and mixed conditionals to compare:

- Second: I would be so happy if James showed up today. → would / simple past

- Third: I would have been so happy last week if James had showed up. → would + have + past participle / past perfect

- Mixed: I would be happy today if James had given me my present last week. → would / past perfect

Notice that, in the last case, we use the past perfect to talk about a distant action in the past, and the auxiliary "would" to refer to an effect in the present.
