<p>Quincy took Dan to Derek's home (for a visit A),
(never imagining B) that five years (would pass C)
Before (seeing D) Derek again.
The answer is "D" can someone tell me why?</p>

2

<p>“Would pass” indicates an action that has already occurred, so the tense of “seeing” would have to be adjusted making it “he would see” to match the past perfect tense of “would pass”</p>

<p>^ No, “seeing” is a gerund and has no tense. I explained this question here: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-preparation/1347694-writing-help.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-preparation/1347694-writing-help.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
