Question

We ________ our lives had it not been for the policeman.

A. would have lost                                        B. should lose     

C. might lose                                                D. had lost

Answer 1

A

解析:

因为had it not been for the policeman = if it had not been for the policeman (如果没有警察) ，显然是与过去事实相反的情况，主句中的谓语应是would have lost。
