885-d-19

.       Just because King Alfred occupied and fortified London in 886 did not mean that he also won the loyalty of its citizens: the invading Danes were well aware of this weakness and used it to their advantage in 893.

(A) Just because King Alfred occupied and fortified London in 886 did not mean that he

(B) The fact that King Alfred had occupied and fortified London in 886 did not mean that he had

(C) Just because King Alfred occupied and fortified London in 886, it did not mean he

(D) The fact that King Alfred occupied and fortified London in 886, it did not mean that he（B）

(E) Just because King Alfred had occupied and fortified London in 886, it did not mean he

我选的是A，答案是B。我解释我错误的原因是:

应该是时态的问题，并不是因为886年king Alfred征服并保卫了伦敦而获得了市民的忠诚。应该用过去完成时。所以答案是B。

还请高人评判一下，是不是这个原因。

Just because这个短句。

在longman里有这一句话:

Just because you're my brother doesn't mean I have to like you!

和这句基本一样

又比如这句：

Just because you shop at the local indoor mall does not make you an expert on the retail sector of the economy.

(A) Just because King Alfred occupied and fortified LACE w:st="on">LondonLACE> in 886 did not mean that he

(B) The fact that King Alfred had occupied and fortified LACE w:st="on">LondonLACE> in 886 did not mean that he had

(C) Just because King Alfred occupied and fortified LACE w:st="on">LondonLACE> in 886, it did not mean he

(D) The fact that King Alfred occupied and fortified LACE w:st="on">LondonLACE> in 886, it did not mean that he（B）

(E) Just because King Alfred had occupied and fortified London in 886, it did not mean he

A句中,就算just because是对的, 先不看, 那后面的: "King Alfred occupied and fortified London in 886 "是干嘛的呢?它后面有接了"did not mean that ". 这个用法是不对的.

抱歉，我也去查了一下，你说的对，是有这个句式，我糊涂了。

不过发现它的用法是just because...doesn't mean，是否已经规定它只能用一般现在时而非过去时呢？
