A．carry out C．go on with

—I’m sorry to tell you that we________it when we found how much it________. A．have abandoned；costs B．abandoned；cost C．had abandoned；cost D．abandoned；would cost
解析：句意：“你们完成这个项目了吗？”“很抱歉告诉你，当我们发现它将会花多少钱时，我们放弃了。”when引导的是时间状语从句。由found可知，表示的是过去时间，因此，“放弃”，应用一般过去时；found后为宾语从句，从句表示将来的动作，应用过去将来时，故选D项。 答案：D
