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

此题选B我没有意见，但是B为什莫用过去完成时呢？尤其是在有in 886这个明显的时间状语的时候。gemj， 你有类似的例子吗？

gemj

我想原因是主句的谓语动词是过去时（did），类似的句子终于找到了一个：

Fallois proposed that Proust had tried to begin a novel in 1908, abandoned it for what was to be a long demonstration of Saint-Beuve’s blindness to the real nature of great writing, found the essay giving rise to personal memories and fictional developments, and allowed these to take over in a steadily developing novel.

这是为什么要用过去完成时呢？

如果用一般过去时不好吗？因为原句中没有先后顺序啊，没必要用过去完成时啊？？？
