语法与词汇 21.When the sentence "They had made a mess of the house." is turned into passive voice, which of the following is CORRECT?(2014-63)

A、 A mess had been made in the house.
B、 A mess had been made by them.
C、 The house had been made a mess of.
D、 The house had been made a mess..

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】被动语态。“动词+名词+介词”类的动词比较特别，其被动态有两种形式。其一，把“动词+名词+介词”作为整体看待，也就是作为一个及物动词来看待，故C项正确；其二，将其中的“动词+名词”看作“及物动词+宾语”的结构，故Amess had been made of the house．才是正确的转换结果。
