问题
选择题
—Jeremy rather than his friends ________ for the accident.
—Absolutely. He shouldn't have driven after being drunk.
A．are to be blamed
B．are to blame
C．is to blame
D．is to be blamed
答案
答案：C
选C 考查主谓一致。句意：“是杰里米而不是他的朋友们应对这次事故负责。”“绝对地。他本不该酒后驾车。”be to blame for ...为固定短语，意为“对……负责”，排除A、D两项；当“A rather than B ”作主语时，谓语动词应与A在“数”上保持一致，故选C。
