The man had gone away ____ the old man said thanks to him.
A.that B.so C.until D.before

D.根据语意判断。在老人感谢他之前，他就离开了。
这里加连词，排除A；B不成因果（不符合逻辑）；C表示的是“直到……才……”也不对

We____ basketball on the ground when it ____ to rain.
A.played;began B.were playing;began C.played;was beginning D.were playing;was beginning

B。我们一直在打篮球，突然下雨了。因为突然下雨的时候，我们正在打篮球，所以前面用过去进行时，后面一般过去时。

The shopkeeper said they_____the shoes ______.
Ahave sold out;in my size B.sold out ;of my size C.had sold out; of my size D.Has sold out;in my size
C。主句是过去时，已经卖完了，所以是过去完成时（过去的过去），那么后面也不用考虑了。
