(单选题)

Then one day a few years ago, out of my mouth came a sentence that ______ my reply to any and all provocations: I don’t talk about that anymore.

A.will eventually become

B.would eventually become

C.can eventually become

D.could eventually became

参考答案：B

参考解析：

考查过去将来时。句意：后来几年前的一天，我说了一句话并最终成为我对任何挑衅的回答：关于那个问题我再也不讨论了。分析句子结构可知，句子主干为a sentence came out of my mouth。在句中用了全部倒装结构。that 引导定语从句修饰a sentence，其在定语从句中做主语。冒号后面的部分是对sentence的解释说明，作同位语。根据题干中的a few days ago可知排除A项和C项；would意为“将会”，used as the past form of will when reporting what sb has said or thought；could意为“可以”，过去式表示礼貌或者委婉，根据后面说的话可知，应该选择would，符合would的用法。故选B。
