此題應填unless還是until

請看下面這道題：

I didn’t manage to do it __________ you had explained how.

A. unless                        B. until                        C. when                        D. since

此題應選B。這道題從句意來看似乎選A，B都行。不少考生看不出選項A錯在什么地方，這里我們可以從句意和時態兩方面來分析：

選A，句意為：你若沒給我解釋，我就不會做好它。—-按此選擇，主句謂語應用would have managed之類的，也就是說這是一個虛擬語氣的句子。

選B，句意為：直到你給我作了解釋，我才會做。—-按此選擇，你先給我解釋，我后才會做，所以“解釋”用過去完成時，“會做”用一般過去，順理成章。
