In our childhood, we were often ___by Grandma to pay attention to our table manners
A. demanded b reminded C. allowed D. hoped
答案:B
考查动词的词义与辨析。在英语中,不能说demand sb to do sth.或hope sb to do sth. 也不会出现他们的被动语态形式,据此可排除A,D两项。Remind sb to do sth.意为“提醒某人去做某事”;allow sb to do sth. “允许某人做某事”.由题意“我们小时候,奶奶经常提醒我们要注意餐桌上的礼仪。”可知答案为B.
