Question

—Who should be responsible for the accident?

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

A．as told B．as are told

C．as telling D．as they told

 

Answer 1

A

【解析】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。workers和tell之间应当是被动关系，排除C、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.
