Question

【题目】The novel written by the author sells best, but five years ago no one could have imagined how great a role he in the literary world.

A. was playing B. was to play

C. had played D. played

Answer 1

【答案】B

【解析】考查时态。句意：这位作者写的小说卖得最好，但五年前，没人能想象他在文学世界中将扮演的角色有多伟大。根据句意表示将来的动作，由时间状语five years ago可知是过去的情况，故表示过去将来的情况，故选B。
