Question

Your headmaster would have been happy to give you two days off, if you had gone and explained that your parents ________ ill at the time.

A．were B．had been

C．are D．would be

 

Answer 1

A

【解析】答案：A　考查时态。句意：如果你那时候去向校长讲清楚，你父母病了，他会乐意给你两天假的。本题中主句表示的是对过去的虚拟，虚拟条件句也表示对过去的虚拟，但虚拟条件句中的宾语从句表示的是过去的事实，故其谓语用一般过去时态。
