Question

【題目】The boy ______ for her in the rain for nearly half an hour before she appeared.

A. waits B. waited C. has waited D. had waited

Answer 1

【答案】D

【解析】句意：在她出現(xiàn)前，那個(gè)男孩已經(jīng)在雨中等了接近半個(gè)小時(shí)了。因?yàn)?/span>before后用的是一般過(guò)去時(shí)，wait這個(gè)動(dòng)作發(fā)生在appeared之前，也就是過(guò)去的過(guò)去，所以空格處應(yīng)該用過(guò)去完成時(shí)。故選D。
