单选题
The man looked at me suspiciously ______ that he had heard this type of story many times and asked me to describe the case. A. even if to say B. as if was saying C. as if to say D. even though saying
【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】[解析] as if/as though后面可以跟虚拟语气从句，如果从句的主语与主句的主语相同，而从句的谓语又含有be动词时，可以省略从句主语和be动词，本句说全了就是“as if he were going to say”。as if后面还可以直接跟现在分词短语，表示“似乎在……”，如：He paused as if expecting Lanny to speak.
