Question

【题目】We would rather our daughter ________ at home with us, but it is her choice, and she is not a child any longer.
A.would stay
B.has stayed
C.stayed
D.stay

Answer 1

【答案】C
【解析】句意：我们宁愿我们的女儿和我们呆在家里，但是此事由她选择，她不再是个孩子了。would rather后跟宾语从句时，从句谓语动词用过去式，表示动作发生在现在或将来，用had+过去分词表是动作发生在过去。根据后一句中的is可知此处动词用过去式，故选C。
