Question

“How about the dishes, Dear?” “The beef didn’t taste very good. It ______ too long.”

A. cooked                                                 B. had been cooked

C. was cooked                                          D. had cooked

Answer 1

B

解析:

从句意上看，“牛肉”应该是“被”煮，故句子要用被动语态；从时间上看，由于句中有 didn’t taste very good，所以“煮得太久”应该在这一过去时间之前，故用过去完成时。
