Question

【题目】

If he ________ quietly as the doctor instructed, Ronald would not suffer so much now.

A. laid B. lay

C. should lie D. had lain

Answer 1

【答案】D

【解析】句意：如果他按医生的指示静静地躺下休息的话，Ronald现在就不会这么难受了。

考查混合虚拟语气。根据“instructed”可知，是对过去的事实进行虚拟，if从句用过去完成时，主句中有时间状语now, 可判断出主句与现在事实相反，则主句用would+动词原形，故选D。
