Question

【题目】The truth is that the passers-by, rather than the driver, for the terrible accident.

A.is to blame B.is to be blamed

C. are to blame D.are to be blamed

Answer 1

【答案】C

【解析】C。解析：句意：事实真相是过路人而不是司机对事故负责。题干中的主语是passers-by过路人，为复数形式。尽管后面加了rather than短语，句子谓语的数应与最前面的主语一致。Be to blame是个习惯用法，主动形式表示被动含义。故选C。
