A.同上 B.were presumed to be lost forever C. were presumed to have been lost forever D. are presumed forever to be lost E. were lost forever, it is presumed, The correct answer is A, while i choose C. Why here we should use "are" instead of "were". thanks 作者: braveMBA 时间: 2003-5-21 12:23
legend to treasures，这里在表明一种客观的事实、猜想，C中的过去时和HAVE BEEN是混乱的，意思不清晰。作者: 1stzhang 时间: 2003-5-21 12:24
