Question

the train was delayed as a of the heavy rain

So far as I know，the football match because of the heavy rain．（　　）

A. has delayed

B. was delayed

C. would delay

D. had been delayed

Answer 1

答案是B．考查被动语态，分析句子本句的主语是the football match 与动词delay之间是被动关系，所以本句用被动语态，根据句意据我所知，足球比赛因为大雨而推迟了，本句用一般现在时合适，所以答案选B．
