Question

— You haven’t said a word about my new coua, Brenda. Do you like it ?
— I’m sorry, I _____ anything about it sooner. I certainly think it’s pretty on you.

A．wasn’t saying

B．don’t say

C．won’t say

D．didn’t say

Answer 1

D

从对话题干所设语境看，此处谈论的是过去所没有发生的事（you haven’t said a word…）此对话中，Brenda 为自己没能对朋友所穿新衣早加赞赏向对方表示歉意；sooner(="at" an earlier time)作为附加状语传达了十分重要的时间信息。
