Question

【题目】It was the boy, rather than his teachers, that ________ for what the boy had done.

A. were to blameB. were to be blamed

C. was to blameD. was to be blamed

Answer 1

【答案】C

【解析】

试题分析：考查主谓一致和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。
