Question

i managed to arrive at the airport

I managed to arrive at the airport in the rush hour,only _____ that my flight had been put off due to the heavy fog.
A.was told B.told C.to be told D.being told

Answer 1

答案：C
解释：
不定式放在句尾（一般用逗号隔开,且其前面经常出现only）做结果状语,表示出乎意料的结果.且句子主语I和非谓语动词tell之间为被动关系,所以使用不定式的被动结构to be done.
即答案C为正解.
如果表示顺理成章的结果,则使用现在分词（短语）做结果状语.
再如：I returned home from work, only to find my house broken into.
我下班后回家,（结果）只是发现房子被人闯入了.
不定式做表示出乎意料的结果状语
He always talks in class, making his teachers angry.
他上课总是说话,（结果）使得他老师很生气.
现在分词表示顺理成章的结果状语
