问题 "Despite proving their grit in the two-month Ranger course, the two women are still unable to join infantry, armor and special forces units, but that could change after the Pentagon makes its recommendations." The modal auxiliary verb "could’’ in the sentence expresses______.
选项 A、low possibility in the past
B、high possibility in the past
C、low possibility in the future
D、high possibility in the future
答案C
解析 情态助动词could在该句中表示推测，而且是程度较低的推测。虽然形式上是过去时，但是表示的时间概念是将来。在推测性的用法中，情态助动词的现在时形式和过去时形式不是区分时间的主要标志，这两种形式所表示的时间往往与它们的“时”的形式不一致。
