单选题 Much as______, I couldn't lend him the money because I simply didn't have that much spare cash with me.

A、 I would like to have
B、 I should have to like
C、 I would have liked to
D、 I should have liked to

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】解析：句意：尽管我那时很愿意借他钱，但是我不能借，原因很简单，我没有那么多闲钱。从I couldn't lend himthe money可以判断这里说的是与过去事实相反的情况，因此用“would(should，could，might)+have done”。would like为固定搭配，表示“愿意”，此处用would have liked。
