Answer 1

1 When he came back with money, his father ____ three days before.
A. had died B. was dead C. died D. had been dead
选A。理由：上半句是过去时，下半句发生在更之前，应该是过去完成时；three days before是个时间点，搭配A比较合适，D常搭配for three days这种。
句意：当他带着钱回来时，他父亲已于三天前过世了。
2 Who do you think he would _____ a letter of congratulation to our monitor?
A. have written B. have to write C. have write D. have been writing
选C。理由：这里是个陷阱，have看似是和完成时有关，前面的would又很容易让人想到would have done的虚拟语气，但实际上只有C的语法是正确的，have somebody do something，表示让某人做某事
句意：你认为他会让谁给我们班长写祝贺信呢？

Answer 2

A 他回来已经是过去式，三天前应是过去完成式.这道题我还是在AB之间徘徊，dead是非延续性动词，不能一直死，用be dead 表示死亡的状态，选B
C这里have sb do sth 是指让某人干某事

Answer 3

A C
