Question

【题目】He demanded that the meeting ______ put off.

A. not be B. should not

C. was not D. would not be

Answer 1

【答案】A

【解析】

考查宾语从句中的虚拟语气。句意：他要求会议不要推迟。及物动词suggest / demand / insist / order / ask (做”要求“解时) / require ---后面的宾语从句，要用虚拟语气，谓语用should +动词原形，should 可以省略，本题正是省略了should。且此处the meeting 和put off之间是被动关系，故答案为A。
