Question

【題目】He demanded that the meeting ______ put off.

A. not be B. should not

C. was not D. would not be

Answer 1

【答案】A

【解析】

考查賓語從句中的虛擬語氣。句意：他要求會議不要推遲。及物動詞suggest / demand / insist / order / ask (做”要求“解時) / require ---后面的賓語從句，要用虛擬語氣，謂語用should +動詞原形，should 可以省略，本題正是省略了should。且此處the meeting 和put off之間是被動關系，故答案為A。
