Answer 1

这道题 改编的有问题 for 引导并列句 谓语应该 用过去式was 因为这是叙述过去的事情
本句 最佳答案是a. had fallen
原题是 He did not arrive until the meeting was nearly over for the simple reason that he had fallen asleep while watching TV. 句中that引导的是 同位语从句

本题 多了is 把that从句 作为表语从句中 属于画蛇添足 并且混乱了时态
我认为 本题 用 is 就是错误

我认为应该选a。
因为选项a是过去完成时，他在会议将要结束时的先前睡着了才导致他开会迟到，你说是吗？

追问

。。。但是我们老师给的答案是C。。问他他又解释不清楚

追答

选项a是【过去完成时】，过去完成时的概念就是表【过去的过去】，即：他在会议将要结束时的【先前/过去的过去】睡着了才导致他【后来】开会迟到，你说是吗？

Answer 3

同学，请你记清楚，语言是很活跃的不要局限在老师教你的什么固定句型语法什么的，A和C都对的，中国人就喜欢出这个弱智的题。

Answer 4

c具体将不太清楚，凭语感
