Lời giải tham khảo:
Đáp án đúng: B
Kiến thức: Câu bị động
Giải thích:
Động từ trong câu trước đang chia quá khứ đơn, câu sau cũng chia quá khứ đơn => câu này cũng sẽ chia quá khứ đơn.
Chủ ngữ “they” = elephants (voi) không thể tự thực hiện hành động “sell” (bán) => câu bị động.
Cấu trúc câu bị động thì quá khứ đơn (với chủ ngữ số nhiều): S + were + P2 (by O)
They (18) were sold to work for the people cutting down the large trees of the forests.
Tạm dịch: Chúng bị bán đi để làm việc cho những người chặt cây lớn trong rừng.
