Affirdubg strategic proximity to the Strait of Gibraltar,Morocco was also of interest to the French throughout the first half of the twentieth century because they assumed that if they did not hold it,thier grip on Algeria was always insecure.
B:without it their grip on Algeria would never be secure.
E: never would their grip on Algeria be secure if they didi not hold it
我想如果以你我的口气，现在说这句话：without it their grip on Algeria would never be secure.可能用have been，因为对于现在，上面那句话是发生在过去，但对于 the French throughout the first half of the twentieth century 当时assumed而言，这个假设不仅仅是指可能发生在assumed前的，也可能指assumed当时的，或是未来的，所以我认为对于assumed而言不是个过去态，是个一般态。故用would比较好。
其实assumed that后更多理解就是一种将来的推测，would就是个过去将来。如：assumed that prices would rise.
