My father worked day and night. Otherwise, there ________ no one to support the family.

A.would be

B.must be

C.would have been

D.must have been

答案

答案:C

题目分析:从信息词 Otherwise可以看出是一个含蓄条件句,再从动词worked 可以看出是与过去相反,故主句使用would have been。本句可以改写为if引导的条件状语从句:if my father hadn’t worded day  and night,there would have been no one to support the family.

点评:含蓄条件句将条件隐含在某些连词(如or, or else, otherwise等)中。还有将条件隐含在介词短语中(如with ,without,but for等)。
