______ for the fact that his father was in hospital, he might have gone abroad.
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】虚拟语气。本句主句用了might have gone,说明本句内容与过去事实相反,所以从句应该使用过去完成时。Had it not been for是if it had not been for的倒装形式,表示“要不是”。A、D两个选项本身就不可用于虚拟语气。C项were it not for也可用于虚拟语气,表示“要不是,要是没有”,是if it were not for的倒装形式,但主句内容应与现在或将来事实相反。
