Under a provision of the Constitution that was never applied, Congress has been required to call a convention for considering possible amendments to the document when formally asked to do it by the legislatures of two-thirds of the states.
正确答案: E: has never been applied, Congress is required to call a convention to consider possible amendments to the document when formally asked to do so
OG对A的解释: the use of present perfect has been required following was never applied makes the time sequence unlcear at best.
我想请问下,一般过去时,一般现在时,现在完成时,三个时态的顺序到底是什么样的? 为什么说A的顺序unclear? 难道顺序应该是一般过去时---一般现在时----现在完成时 所以A选项中跳跃了一般现在时,直接用现在完成时??

查阅OG解释
The predicate has neverbeen applied refers to a span of time, from the writing of the Constitutionto the present, rather than to a past event (as was does), and the phrase is required indicates that the provision still applies.
而A则表示对于一个过去从来没有被实施过的规则,congress从过去一直到现在都。。。就不能表达出该题目原来的意思了 |
