could+open

Hi there,

I was reading this text then encountered this blank and couple of options which I appreciate if anyone could possibly clarify the right answer:

We tried, but the window ............ (couldn't be opened/couldn't have been opened). It was painted shut.

The suggested answers are my own answers. If there are other possible choices, please don't hesitate to enlighten me.

Cheers,

Iman
