Question

—Have they got their new house painted yet?
—I don't know. But I was told it ________ when I met them last week.

A．had been painting	B．would be painting
C．was painted	D．was being painted

Answer 1

D

D 考察动词时态和语态。句意：—他们刷完了新房了吗？—不知道，但是上周他们告诉我正在刷。根据句意可知房子应该被刷，使用被动语态。根据I don’t know可知上周还没有刷完。故排除C项。故D正确。
