The United States, in【C1】______, has its own special way of pronouncing and spelling the English language. They speak American English, and they【C2】______a lot of its special character to one man: Noah Webster.
Noah Webster was born in Connecticut in 1758. He【C3】______during a period of great American patriotism. He graduated from Yale University when he was 20. The【C4】______of the American Revolution brought independence to the United States, but political【C5】______didn’t satisfy Webster.

In 1783, Webster published a textbook called The American spelling Book. It was used by generation after【C8】______of American school children. Because the book had a blue back, it becomes famous【C9】______"the blue-backed speller".

选项
A、had
B、was
C、would
D、were
答案
C
解析
考查虚拟语气。这句话为省略了if的虚拟从句。在虚拟句中,主句用would+动词,空格后有动词spell,由此可推知空格处填would。因此,C选项正确。
