Question

—Who should be responsible for the accident?
—The boss，not the workers.They just carried out the order ________.

A．a(chǎn)s told	B．a(chǎn)s are told
C．a(chǎn)s telling	D．a(chǎn)s they told

Answer 1

A

句意：——誰應(yīng)當(dāng)對這一起事故負責(zé)？——是老板，而不是工人。工人們只是執(zhí)行了被吩咐的命令。workers和tell之間應(yīng)當(dāng)是被動關(guān)系，排除C、D。而當(dāng)從句主語和主句主語一致，且從句中有be動詞時，那么從句主語和be動詞可以同時省去。末句可以補全為：They just carried out the order as they were told.
