问题 Two thirds of the US basketball players are black, and the number would be greater it were not for the continuing practice of picking white bench warmers for the sake of balance.
选项 A、having it not been for
B、would it not have been for
C、were it not for
D、was it not because of
答案 C
解析 三分之二的美国篮球运动员为黑人。若非为了遵循种族平衡的惯例选拔白人作为替补队员，黑人球员的数量会更多。本题考查虚拟语气的表达形式。and连接两个并列分句，第二个分句的谓语为would be greater，显然与前一分句的fire表示的一般现在时不同，因此是对现在事实做出的相反假设，用的是虚拟语气。与would be匹配的从句形式是if it were not for(要不是)，其变体是省略if，采用倒装结构将were前置，故C选项正确。
