单选题 Many representatives are in favor of his proposal that a special committee ______ to investigate the incident.

A、 were set up
B、 be set up
C、 was set up
D、 set up

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】解释proposal内容的同位语从句需用“should+动词”作谓语，而且should可省略。故可排除A、B。动词set up和名词committee是动宾关系，故committee作主语，set up需用被动态。选C。句意：他建议成立特别委员会来调查这次事故，许多代表同意他的建议。
