Question

In a room above the store, where a party ________, some workers were busily setting the table．

A. was to be held
B. has been held
C. will be held
D. is being held

Answer 1

答案A
句意为：“在店铺上层的一个房间里，一场聚会将在那里举行，一些工人正在忙碌地摆桌子。”因为聚会即将举行，故须用表示将来时的谓语动词形式。“be+不定式”结构常用来表示按计划、安排将要做某事，符合题意，因题干表达过去的事情，须用过去的时态形式，故B、C、D三项均被排除。
