해설
There are two uses. (1) Dictionary form + までだ: if one way fails, I will simply take another; it shows calm resolve, often after なら, ば or ても. (2) Ta-form + までだ: I only did ~, with no special reason or intention; used to play down thanks or to explain oneself. までのことだ has the same meaning and sounds a little more formal.

特に深い意味はない。思ったことを 言ったまでだ。

주의
The meaning changes with the verb form: dictionary form for resolve, ta-form for 'I only did it'. Do not confuse it with までもない (no need to ~).

정답과 해설
정답: 2 案内した
A: "Thank you for taking me to the station yesterday." B: "Not at all, you looked lost, so I just showed you the way." The action is already done, so the ta-form 案内したまでです is needed. The dictionary form in 1 refers to a future action, and 3 and 4 cannot come before までだ.

정답과 해설
정답: 3 までだ
If the trains are stopped, I'll just go by taxi. までだ shows the simple alternative. ものなら and とばかりに cannot end a sentence, and ことか expresses strong emotion.
