Question

【题目】But for her timely assistance，the prince___________ to death.

A.would be condemnedB.will be condemned

C.would have been condemnedD.will have been condemned

Answer 1

【答案】C

【解析】

考查虚拟语气。句意：要不是她的及时援助，王子会已经被判处死刑。句中but for“要不是”，是虚拟语气的标志，相当于if引导的非真实条件句，与过去的事实相反，且the prince和condemn之间是被动关系，故答案为C。
