单选题 The staff have been informed that under no circumstances ______ the telephone in the office for personal calls.
A. may they use B. they use C. they could use D. did they use

【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[解析] 倒装结构
员工们已经得到通知,在任何情况下,他们都不可以在办公室打私人电话。否定短语under no circumstances意为“无论如何不,绝不”,位于宾语从句句首时,句子用倒装结构,整句都是现在时态,所以A符合题意。
