By the time the police arrived, the old ...

By the time the police arrived, the old man ________ dead already, with a gun in his hand.

A.was found B.had found C.found D.has been found

 

A 【解析】 考查时态和语态。句意:警察赶到时,发现老人死了,手里拿着枪。根据主句可知,主句动作不强调已经完成,只是说明某个时候的状况,且主句是be的系表形式或者是表示像know, find, believe等表示认知的持续性动词,往往用一般时态。结合从句“By the time the police arrived,”时态可以判断,用一般过去时。句中主语the old man与动词find之间为被动关系,所以用一般过去时的被动语态。故选A。
