Question

I coutdn't have got to the meeting on time____________ an earlier train.

A. if I had not caught              B. unless I had caught

C. if ! did not catch               D. unless I caught

Answer 1

B

解析:

if．．．not和unless有時也不能互相替換。unless不能用于“由于未發生B而發生A”的句子里，如：1 will be quite斟ad if she does not come this evening。unless常用來引導一個談及過去的事后的想法，unless從句跟著主句，通常用破折號而不是逗號將它與主句分開。
