Question

The doctor insisted that the patient _______ seriously ill and that an operation _______ in no time.

A．was; be carried out	B．should be; be carried out
C．was; was carried out	D．should be; was carried out

Answer 1

A

考查固定搭配。Insist當(dāng)堅持說，堅持認(rèn)為講時，后面賓從該用什么時態(tài)用什么時態(tài)；當(dāng)堅決要求講時，后面賓從要用（should）+do的虛擬語氣。句子中insist后面跟了用and連接的兩個賓語從句，連接第一個從句時insist是堅持認(rèn)為的意思，不用虛擬語氣，排除B,D；連接的二個從句時，insist是堅決要求的意思，要跟虛擬語氣，所以選A。
