Tom , rather than his teammates ,_______ for the failure of the volleyball match.
A were to blame       B was to blame    C were to blame   D was to be blame
B

試題分析：考察主謂一致。當(dāng)rather than連接兩個名詞作主語的時候，謂語動詞要和第一個名詞保持一致，故使用單數(shù)形式，而且be to blame又是一個固定搭配，用主動形式表示被動含義。故B正確。
點評：在英語中，句子的主語和謂語動詞要保持?jǐn)?shù)上的一致關(guān)系，叫主謂一致。這種關(guān)系通常要遵循下面三條原則：1．語法一致原則。句子的主語是單數(shù)形式，謂語動詞要用單數(shù)形式；主語是復(fù)數(shù)形式，謂語動詞用復(fù)數(shù)形式2．意義一致原則即謂語動詞該用單數(shù)還是復(fù)數(shù)取決于主語所表達(dá)的內(nèi)容在含義是單數(shù)意義還是復(fù)數(shù)意義。3．鄰近原則謂語動詞該用單數(shù)還是復(fù)數(shù)形式，取決于最鄰近它的名詞、代詞或其它詞的數(shù)。
