C、Until Disraeli in 1868, there were no prime ministers in Great Britain who have not come

E、It was only in 1868 and Disraeli that Great Britain had one of its prime ministers not coming
答案
D
解析
Verb form; Idiom
This sentence explains how Disraeli marked a turning point in British history: he was the first prime minister who did not come from the landed gentry. The placement of the double negative is crucial. While no prime ministers not coming from ... is hard to untangle, [n]ot until... that Great Britain had a prime minister who did not come... separates the negatives into separate clauses, making them easier to decode. An appropriate way to express the temporal relationship is to use the idiomatic phrase not until... that.
A The phrase no prime ministers not coming is unnecessarily confusing. It is also confusing to follow the preposition until with two very different types of objects—a date and a person.
B As in (A), the double negative and unlike objects of the prepositional phrase starting with until are confusing. Additionally, the verb form have not come, which is the present-perfect tense, is inappropriate following the past perfect had had in this context.
C The present-perfect tense {have not come) is inappropriate after the past tense were in this context. Until Disraeli is imprecise and incomplete. Before Disraeli’s term in 1868... or Until Disraeli became prime minster in 1868 would work.
D Correct. This version correctly uses the idiomatic construction not until... that, and it correctly uses past tense throughout.
E While it makes sense to say that a historical change occurred in 1868, it does not make sense to say that it occurred in Disraeli. It is unidiomatic to say had one of its prime ministers not coming.
The correct answer is D.
