Question

【题目】It was the boy,rather than his teachers,that______for what the boy had done.
A.were to blame
B.were to blamed
C.was to blame
D.was to be blamed

Answer 1

【答案】C
【解析】考查blame的用法。句意：是这个男孩应该为他所做的受到责备而不是他的老师们。rather than his teachers可以看作插入成分，和the boy相对应的应用第三人称单数形式was to blame，is to be blamed是错误的表达。答案是C项。
