Question

—Pity you missed the lecture on nuclear pollution.

—I ______it, but I was busy preparing for a job interview.

A．attended      

B．have attended

C．would attend             

D．would have attended

Answer 1

D解析：由but后的I was busy preparing for a job interview可知說話者并沒有去聽演講，因此此處應是一個表示過去的虛擬語氣。對過去的事情進行虛擬時，主句應用“would＋have＋過去分詞”。本句可以改為I would have attended it if I hadn't been busy preparing for a job interview.句意：——你錯過了關于核污染的演講真是遺憾。——我本想去參加的，但是我正忙著準備工作面試。故選D項。
