Brendan hurriedly got to the airport, only ______ the plane had taken off. A．to find B．to finding C．to be finding D．to have found

Answer 1

A

试题分析：考查非谓语动词作结果状语的区别。Only后面接动词不定式表示出乎人的意料之外，且与句子主语之间是主动关系，四个选项都是不定式，B结构不正确；C 不定式的进行式表示该动作与句子谓语动词同时发生，排除；D 不定式的完成式表示该动作发生在句子谓语动词之前就发生，且该结构不作状语，排除；根据句意：布伦丹匆匆忙赶到机场，结果发现飞机已经起飞。故A正确。
