问题 The client was waiting for fifteen minutes when the receptionist suddenly looked up from her work, noticed him, and informed him that his appointment had been canceled.
选项 A、The client had been waiting for fifteen minutes when
B、The client, having waited for fifteen minutes, when
C、Already the client was waiting for fifteen minutes when
D、When the client waited for fifteen minutes,
答案 A
解析 客户等了十五分钟后，接待员才停下手头的工作，猛地抬头看他，告诉他约会取消了。本题的考点是时态的表意功能。句中when引导的时间状语用了过去时，客户在此之前已经等了十五分钟，所以匹配的时态是过去完成时。当接待员看到他时，他依然在等，因此还需要用进行体。故正确的时态是过去完成进行体，即选项A。选项B的主句没有谓语，选项c没有表明已经等待了十五分钟，选项D用when引导，使得句子没有主句，因此只有选项A正确。
