【B19】

选项 A、as
B、when
C、if
D、so

答案B

解析 考查连词辨析。空格处填入一连词,引导后面的从句,和空格前的过去分词一起在句子中作状语。该分词结构可以扩充为一个完整的句子,即authority was conferred only______the mass of the people concurred,由于as和so都不与only连用,应排除。能与only连用的连词是when和if。 only when引导时间状语从句,意为“只有在…时候才…”,如Only when he read the newspaper did he know the story.(只有在他看了报纸后他才知道那则报道。)only if引导条件从句,多与现在时连用,意为“只有在…条件下才…”,如Only if the red light comes on is there any danger to employees.(只有红灯闪亮时才有危及职工的险情。)正确选项为B。
