问题补充：

I there little more than a week when I set to work with the scientist.

A. would be

B. have been

C. had been

D. will be

答案：

A. would be

B. have been

(答案→)C. had been

D. will be

解析：C。由于set to work with the scientist这一动作发生在过去，而be there与set to work的先后关系是：be there在先，set to work在后。所以be there发生的时间属于“过去的过去”，故用过去完成时。
