It was lucky that little Jack was not at home when the fire broke out; otherwise, he____his life.
A．had lost
B．would lose
C．would have lost
D．might lose
答案
答案：C
题目分析： 句意：很幸运小杰克在火灾爆发的时候不在家，否则他就会丧生了。这里的otherwise相当于一个虚拟条件句If little Jack had been at home when the fire broke out，可知是和过去情况相反，所以主句是would have done，选C。
