Question

I feel it is you rather than the boy who________for being late for the speech.

A．is to blame	B．are to blame
C．is to be blamed	D．are to be blamed

Answer 1

B

解析试题分析：考查强调句，主谓一致和固定词组;这题强调的是you rather than the boy是后面句子的主语，who后面的谓语要和you rather than the boy保持一致，rather than连接两个主语时，谓语和前面的主语保持一致，所以be动词是are，另外be to blame这个词组用主动表示被动。选B。
考点：考查强调句，主谓一致和固定词组
点评：除了rather than还有as well as，including，together with等词组，连接两个主语时，谓语要和前面的主语保持一致。平时多记多背。
