Question

【题目】—Such a mistake could have been avoided.

—Unfortunately, he the mistake again and again.

A. repeated B. would repeat

C. had repeated D. would have repeated

Answer 1

【答案】A

【解析】

句意：——这样的错误本来是可以避免的。——不幸的是，他一遍又一遍地重复这个错误。考查动词时态辨析题。前句could have done对过去发生的事表示遗憾，是虚拟语气，说明make a mistake动作发生在过去；后句是真实语气，需用一般过去时，故选A。
