Question

--Jim, did you take out the trash just now?
--No. By the time I came home it          .
A. have been taken out      B. had taken out          C. had been taken out

Answer 1

C

試題分析：take out拿出，帶出，by the time直到，came home是過去時，扔垃圾是發生在came之前的動作，過去完成時表示的是過去的過去。又有be+動詞過去分詞構成被動語態。had been+過去分詞，含有被動語態的過去完成時。句意：Jim，剛才是你把垃圾扔了嗎？不，我回來的時候垃圾已經被扔了。故選C。
