I had hoped that the situation ______ differently, but it appears that things are still the same.

Choose the correct option.

The correct answer is "would turn out" because it is in the past tense and expresses the speaker's hope for a future outcome. "Had turned out" and "Would have turned out" are in the past perfect tense and imply that the situation has already been resolved in the past, which is not what is expressed in the sentence. "Turned out" is in the past simple tense and implies that the situation has already been resolved in the past, which is not what is expressed in the sentence.
