, we’d better take it to the garage immediately.
A. Otherwise
B. If not
C. But for that
D. If so
解析:这道题考查状语从句的省略。句意“听上去汽车的发动机好像坏了,我们最好立刻去修理厂。”通过简单判断可知,这两个句子之间是顺承的关系,所以应该是“如果真的这样的话(发动机坏了)”。 Otherwise否则,要不然;If not如果不是这样的话;But for that要不是那样。以上三项均不符合句意和语境。If so “如果这样的话”,符合句意和语境。If so相当于If something is wrong with the car’s engine.所以正确答案为D。
