问题补充：

—When did the old man die? —In . He for nearly ten years.

A. died

B. has died

C. is dead

D. has been dead

答案：

A. died

B. has died

C. is dead

(答案→)D. has been dead

解析：句意：那个老人什么时间死的？在。他死了有十年了。现在完成时可以用来表示发生在过去某一时刻的,持续到现在的动作（用行为动词表示）或状态（be动词表示）常与for（+时间段）,since（+时间点或过去时的句子）连用. 现在完成时中，非延续性动词不能与for和since引导的表示一段时间的状语连用，通常是用相应的延续性动词来代替。die对应的延续性状态是be dead,故选D。
