Question

The business of each day,_____selling goods or shipping them,went quite smoothly.
A.it being B.be it C.was it D.it was

Answer 1

whether的虚拟语气：whether引导让步状语从句谓语动词一般为be如：
We must finish the work before we go home,whether it be early or late.(=be it early or late.)
在此句型中,可省去whether,而将be放在主句前如：
Be he rich or poor I'll marry him all the same.
