Đáp án C
Kiến thức về thì của động từ
Tạm dịch: Cô ấy đang ngồi trên bãi cỏ, thở hổn hển. Cô ấy đã chạy rất lâu. Cô ấy lẽ ra không nên chạy quá lâu như vậy.
Căn cứ vào động từ “was” ở mệnh đề trước nên động từ ở vế sau cần chia ở thì quá khứ hoàn thành (hành động chạy xảy ra xong trước hành động ngồi và thở hổn hển).
Người ta dùng quá khứ hoàn thành để nhấn mạnh kết quả của hành động và dùng quá khứ hoàn thành tiếp diễn để nhấn mạnh quá trình của hành động.
Cấu trúc khác cần lưu ý:
out of breath: thở dốc, thở hổn hển
should (not) + have + Vp2: lẽ ra đã (không) nên làm gì
