Question

—Jeremy rather than his friends ________ for the accident.

—Absolutely. He shouldn't have driven after being drunk.

A．are to be blamed B．are to blame

C．is to blame D．is to be blamed

 

Answer 1

C

【解析】选C　考查主谓一致。句意：“是杰里米而不是他的朋友们应对这次事故负责。”“绝对地。他本不该酒后驾车。”be to blame for ...为固定短语，意为“对……负责”，排除A、D两项；当“A rather than B ”作主语时，谓语动词应与A在“数”上保持一致，故选C。
