There was a half smile on his face which suggested that he＿＿＿＿happy to have given his life for his country. A．was B．should be C．would be D．were

Answer 1

A

该题中suggest意为“表明、暗示”，这时其后宾语从句中谓语动词用陈述语气。

Answer 2

选A。

suggest作“表明、暗示”的意思时，后面的从句不用虚拟语气。所以排除C；

因为主语是he，所以排除D；

从句子的时态+句意分析，排除B。

句子意思为“他脸上微微的笑容表明他很高兴将自己的生命献给了国家。”
