Question

- - How dangerous it was!
- - Yes, but for the passer - by' s quick action, the girl _____

A．was drowned	B．could have been drowned
C．had drowned	D．should be drowned

Answer 1

B

试题分析：考查虚拟语气的运用。句意：--多危险啊。---是，要不是那个过路者动作快，这个女孩就死了。But for要不是，是虚拟语气句型。相当于If it had not been for the passer - by' s quick action，所以主句用could/would/should have done，因为the girl和drown是被动关系，选B。
