中单选题【2016年真题】It was said that the board of directors decide to put Peter in charge of the work.
A.decided
B.has decided
C.had decided
D.have decided
参考答案:C
答案解析:(1)()画线部分错误分析。
本题考查主句与从句时态的一致性。题干中主句It was said that...用过去时态,从句the board of directors decide to...用了现在时态,主句和从句时态不一致。一般来讲,主句的谓语动词为过去时态时,从句需使用某一过去时态。
(2)选项分析。
根据上述分析,主句的谓语动词为过去时态时,从句需使用过去某一时态。选项B、C均为现在完成体,可排除。而主、从句表示的动作都发生在过去,且有先后顺序,decide的动作发生在said之前,因此decide用过去完成体had decided,因此选项C正确。
[译文]据说董事会曾决定让彼得负责这项工作。
