John's mother left him when he was a baby. His was brought up by his aunt.
His aunt took care of him as if she _____ his own mother.
(A) Is (B) was (C) were (D) had been
可以解释一下所该答案的原因吗?

C 假设语气

as if(宛如、好像)子句为假设法，与现在事实相反，be动词一律用were

D吧 这是与“过去”事实相反的假设欸

正确答案是d吗? 我觉得是d

是不是儿子，真相只有 true or false 哪有过去式。Were 就对了。

were

认为是与过去事实相反的可能是觉得当年抱错小孩之类的（误）

were。与事实相反地假设。血缘关系没有“过于”或“现在”口语上was也是可接受的答案。written English就不行
