选择题
— Thank God! The accident was avoided after all.
—That was lucky, but ten inches nearer the two cars _________?
A．was destroyed
B．would be destroyed
C．would have been destroyed
D．had been destroyed
答案
答案：C
题目分析：句意：—谢天谢地，事故毕竟被避免了。--那时很幸运，但是再靠近10英寸，两辆车就被毁了。根据The accident was avoided after all.可知两辆车被毁了是不真实的，这里的ten inches nearer是遗憾的虚拟条件句，相当于：If they had been ten inches nearer，因为是对过去的事情的虚拟，用would have done。选C。
