Question

The teachers ________________ the office for a few minutes when we arrived.

A．had been away from

B．had left

C．have been away from

D．have left

Answer 1

A

试题分析: 句意：当我们到的时候，老师们已经离开办公室几分钟了。be away离开，延续性动词；leave离开，瞬间动词；for a few minutes几分钟，瞬间动词转换成延续性动词与一段时间连用，排除BD；过去的过去为过去完成时，离开办公室的动作早于到达的时间，排除D,故选A。
