问题 "Perhaps you could pick up the book at my flat at some time that suited you?" The underlined verb forms are used to indicate________.

选项 A、an ability
B、past time
C、a hypothesis
D、tentativeness

答案D

解析 时态题。题干所给出的句子中,could和suited都使用了动词的过去式,因此,本句使用了一般过去时。但从句意判断,“或许你可以挑个你合适的时间到我的公寓来拿书?”所讲述的并不是过去某个时间点所发生的事情,而是向对方提出了某种要求或是在探寻对方的意愿。英语中常用一般过去时来委婉地提出请求,带有一种试探性。故D为答案。
