Question

It was lucky that little Jack was not at home when the fire broke out; otherwise, he____his life.

A．had lost

B．would lose

C．would have lost

D．might lose

Answer 1

C

试题分析： 句意：很幸运小杰克在火灾爆发的时候不在家，否则他就会丧生了。这里的otherwise相当于一个虚拟条件句If little Jack had been at home when the fire broke out，可知是和过去情况相反，所以主句是would have done，选C。
