Question

【题目】— Who should be responsible for the accident?

— The boss, not the workers. They just carried out the order______.

A. as they told B. as are told

C. as told D. as telling

Answer 1

【答案】C

【解析】试题分析：倒装与省略 。工人们只是执行了被吩咐的命令。workers和tell之间应当是被动关系，排除A、D。而当从句主语和主句主语一致，且从句中有be动词时，那么从句主语和be动词可以同时省去。末句可以补全为：They just carried out the order as they were told. 句意：——谁应当对这一起事故负责？——是老板，而不是工人。工人们只是执行了被吩咐的命令。 故选C。
