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：——誰應當對這一起事故負責？——是老板，而不是工人。工人們只是執行了被吩咐的命令。workers和tell之間應當是被動關系，排除C、D。而當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.
