It____________ that the UFO had appeared in the smal1 town and hovered over the square in it for quite a long time.
A、 has said
B、 had said
C、 was said
D、 is said
【正确答案】：C
【题目解析】：该题考查的是时态的用法。表示“据说”可以用it is said或it was said。当that后面的从句是现在时或现在完成时用it is said，后面从句是过去完成时则用it was said, 表示过去听说的已经发生的事情。A和B选项没有用被动语态，D时态不对。
