确定

追答

我认为选A。
句子为：I could tell him the answer. If it had been possible, but I was so busy then.
汉译：我（当时）能告诉他答案。（我也知道答是什么）如果当时有可能的话，
（我就告诉他了） 但我当时很忙。
解释：这是一个虚拟语气考察题。第一个句子是过去式。指过去"能"。第二个句子是错综复杂型
虚拟语气。条件句中是对过去时间的虚拟，因此用过去完成时，主句省略了一句话“我就
告诉他了：I could have told him the answer.”后句话是表达过去的实际情况，因此用过
去时。
另： 其他的虚拟语气的语法知识，你一定学过。如果个别忘了，查查语法书就想起来了。
