问题补充：

The rescue team to help but failed to get there in time.

A. had wanted

B. have planned

C. were expecting

D. hoped

答案：

(答案→)A. had wanted

B. have planned

C. were expecting

D. hoped

解析：此题考查动词时态的掌握情况。救援队原本希望赶来救助的，但是却failed to get there in time。因此要用had wanted来表达一个落空的愿望。英语中常用hope，expect，want，plan，wish，mean这一类表达愿望的词的过去完成时态来表达事实上没能实现的愿望。
