Question

【题目】George returned after the war, only ________ that his wife had left him.

A. to be told B. telling

C. being told D. having been told

Answer 1

【答案】A

【解析】考查非谓语动词做结果状语。在非谓语动词中，现在分词做结果状语的时候，表示的是意料之中的结果。不定式和only连用，表示的是意料之外的结果。句意：George在战争结束以后回来了，结果被告知他的妻子已经离开了他。根据语境说明，这是一个意料之外的结果，故A正确。
