D. took place
题目解答
答案
A. were to take place
解析
步骤 1：理解句子结构
句子的主句是 "none of our people would have believed him"，表示如果先知告诉我们某些事情，没有人会相信他。从句 "what things ________" 是一个宾语从句，用来说明先知告诉我们的是什么。
步骤 2：分析时态
主句使用了过去完成时 "would have believed"，表示对过去的假设。从句需要使用相应的时态来表示在主句动作之前发生的动作。
步骤 3：选择合适的时态
选项 A "were to take place" 表示将要发生的事情，符合语境，因为先知预言的是未来的事情。选项 B "were taking place" 表示正在进行的事情，不符合语境。选项 C "had taken place" 表示过去的过去，不符合语境。选项 D "took place" 表示一般过去时，也不符合语境。
