单选题 Make sure that all the papers ______ proofread for grammatical and content errors before submitting them to the boss.
  • (A) will be
  • (B) were
  • (C) are
  • (D) has been


【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[理由] 本句测试下列结构:
make sure+that+主语+现在时动词/现在完成时动词 确定……
[例] Make sure that you finish(现在时) the work before you leave.
(务必确定你离开前把工作做完。)
Make sure that they have all come.(现在完成时)
(确定一下他们是否都到了。)
根据上述,本句句首有Make sure(确定),之后又有that引导的从句,故知该从句中应接现在时动词或现在完成时动词。选项中仅(C)are为现在时,故为正选。(D)has been虽为现在完成时,但因为空格前的主语是复数名词all the papers(所有文件),故(D)应改为have been。
