Question

【题目】（2017湖北省恩施州中考）In old days, the poor _______ for the boss forover 18 hours a day.

A. was made to be worked B. were made work C. were made to work

Answer 1

【答案】C

【解析】考查被动语态，句意：过去，穷人每天为老板工作超过18小时。The+形容词表示一类人作主语时，谓语用复数，因此A不对。make使役动词，用于被动语态时，后面的to不能省略，因此B不正确。这里是一般过去时的被动语态，结构是was/were +动词的过去分词，故选C。
