He would never have got the job,________for the fact that his
father had great influence over the company.
A hadn't it been
B it had not been
C it were not
D were it not
(答案是A。为什么不选D？书上不是说“若省略的条件句中的谓语动词是否定形式时，不能用动词的缩略形式”吗？

这是虚拟语气，对过去事实的虚拟，用if...had(n't) done，省略if，句子倒装——所以是hadn't done...。选A P.S.[若省略的条件句中的谓语动词是否定形式时，不能用动词的缩略形式]好像没有这规定吧？我也不太清楚。。。希望我的回答可以帮助你：〉...

这个是一个过去时态，事情已经过去，所以用had，后面是一个独立主谓结构...

这里是虚拟语气，不是什么条件句啊！...
