Question

—Pity you missed the lecture on nuclear pollution.

—I ______it, but I was busy preparing for a job interview.

A．attended      

B．have attended

C．would attend             

D．would have attended

Answer 1

D解析：由but后的I was busy preparing for a job interview可知说话者并没有去听演讲，因此此处应是一个表示过去的虚拟语气。对过去的事情进行虚拟时，主句应用“would＋have＋过去分词”。本句可以改为I would have attended it if I hadn't been busy preparing for a job interview.句意：——你错过了关于核污染的演讲真是遗憾。——我本想去参加的，但是我正忙着准备工作面试。故选D项。
