单选题
Had Paul received six more votes in the last election, he ______ our chairman now. A. must be B. would have been C. shall be D. would be
【正确答案】
D
【答案解析】本题测试虚拟语气的用法。本题首先要注意虚拟从句中省略了连词if采用了倒装,正常语序应为“If Paul had received six more votes in the last election…”,很明显是对过去事实的一个假设;但是还要注意主句中含有时间状语now,因此是表示与现在的事实相反的状况。故答案为D,而不是B。
