单选题 If you had done it as you ______, you would have succeeded.
  • A. were told
  • B. would be told
  • C. had been told
  • D. were told to
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】..as you were told to (do),因前半句出现了同一个动词,所以后半句重复出现时可以省略,但to必须保留。另外,tell作及物动词时要跟间接宾语和直接宾语,tell sb. sth. 或tell sb. to do sth. ,因此从tell的用法上看也不能没有to,因为它代表的是直接宾语,否则意思不完整或不明确,类似的例子如:He wanted to eat, so I told him to. (不能没有to)他想吃,于是我就叫他去吃。I could not find him, though I wanted to. (不能没有to)我想找到他,但却找不到。
