Question

we were all surprised when he made it clear that he____ office soon. a.will leave b.would leave

c.left
d.had left
选哪个？请说明详细理由！！！在线等！！！！！

Answer 1

答案是B
语法 soon ===不久，马上
1 He says(==he makes it clear) that he will leave office soon.(此时此刻地说)
2 He said (==he made it clear) that he would leave office soon.(现在转述当时的说话，就用过去将来时)
翻译：他表明，他很快就要离任了。 对此，我们深感惊讶。

Answer 2

选b，第一项时态不对，主句用的是过去时，从句也应该用过去时，又因为有soon不就以后的意思，故是将来时态的标志，将来有一般将来，过去将来，显然用过去将来。c项已经发生不能和soon连用，d项说明离开这个动作发生在他说之前，更不符合逻辑。

Answer 3

b. would leave
a 时态不对
c。 left 和句子中的soon冲突，soon需要跟将来时配用，d错原因同c
