Question

3. [2014 •陕西卷]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

3.    C考査虚拟语气。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"表示动作发生在过去。根据后一句中的is可知此处动词用过去式，故选C。
