Answer 1

本题选 C
详解：
until prep.直到
直到...才; 直到...为止
后面加(时间状语)从句,前面就是主句
1) His father didn't die until he came back. (肯定)
直到他回来,他爸爸才死.
2) His father was alive until he came back. (否定)
直到他回来为止,他爸爸都是活着的.
到他回来这一点之前,没死 : not die; 活的 : 不加not.
把until作为时间终止线
从句的时间终点之前,这个动作做了还是没做?
做了——肯定;
没做——否定.
I stay in bed until twelve o'clock.
I didn't get up until 12 o'clock.
