Question

If he ___ that he ____ to work there, everything would be OK now.

A. insisted, be sent      B. insisted, was sent    C. had insisted, be sent   D. had insisted, was sent

Answer 1

C

解析:

本題考查虛擬語氣在insist從句中的用法。若insist表示“堅持要求做事”從句中應用should+v, should可省略；若insist表示“堅持說，堅持認為”則從句需根據句意選擇合適的時態。本句句意為：如果他堅持要求被派往那兒的話，現在一切都好了。事實上并非如此。故選C。
