The students _______ busily when Miss Brown went to get a book she _______ in the office.
A.had written, left
B.were writing, has left
C.had written, had left
D.were writing, had left
答案
D。
“把书忘在办公室”发生在“去取书”这一过去的动作之前,因此“忘了书”这一动作发生在过去的过去,用过去完成时。句中when表示的是时间的一点,表示在“同学们正忙于……”这一背景下,when所引导的动作发生。因此前一句应用过去进行时。
