【C4】
选项 A、were used to saying
B、used to saying
C、were used to say
D、used to say
答案D
解析 语法结构及词义辨析题。此空格后的表示过去时间的短语in the nineteenth century决定了此空格的动词应该用过去式，used to do sth．表示过去常常干某事，所以此空格应选择D项。used to say表示“过去常常说”；be used to sth．/doing sth．表示“习惯于某事或做某事”，与此句不符，所以A项不正确；used to saying和were used to say搭配错误。
