Question

the accident would not have happened

________ he driven more carefully, the accident would not have happened the other day. A．Be B．Had C．Has D．Would have

Answer 1

B 考查虚拟语气。“如果他开车在小心一点，事故就不会发生了。”根据主句的would not have happened可知，与过去相反，故用过去完成时，即If he had driven...，If引导的虚拟语气常用省略形式，把had提前，即Had he driven...。故选B。
