Question

All the doctors in the hospital insisted that he ____ badly wounded and that he ____ at once.

A．should be; be operated on

B．were; must be operated on

C．was; should be operated

D．was; be operated on

Answer 1

D

insist后的從句謂語有時用“should+動詞原形”這樣的虛擬語氣，有時不用，具體要看該謂語動詞所表示的含義。一般說來，若該謂語動詞所表示的動作尚未發(fā)生，或尚未成為事實(shí)，則用虛擬語氣；若該謂語動詞所表示的動作已經(jīng)發(fā)生，或已經(jīng)成為事實(shí)，則要用陳述語氣。分析上題的句意，可知只有選D最合適。
