求讲解
答
此题选B
suggest有两种意思 第一种是建议的意思,此时宾语从句需用虚拟语气,即suggest that sb should do(常用其省略形式 suggest sb 都,省略that和should)
第二种是“表征、说明”的意思,此时的宾语从句不用虚拟语气,因为表征的是真实情况,此题的suggest即为此用法,意为“他疲惫的脸说明他在走了这么长一段路后感到累了”,这里的was是一般过去时,为和suggested保持时态一致
另外一个和它类似的是 insist,当insist表示“坚决要求”时宾语从句用虚拟语气
而当insist表示“坚称、坚持认为”(含有他人不信的意思)时不用虚拟语气(可想而知,他都坚持认为了怎么还会用虚拟呢,用虚拟别人不就铁定不相信他了么)
