—Who should be responsible for the accident?
—The boss, not the workers. They just carried out the order       .

A．as telling

B．as are told

C．as told

D．as they told

答案

C

解析

试题分析：本题是考查状语从句的省略的问题。根据句意可知，应该是被告知的。排除A，当状语从句主语和主句的主语一致，并且状语从句的有个be动词时，可以将状语从句的主语和be动词同时省略，故选C。即as told.  they are 可以省略。
点评：本题重在理解主语从句中有关省略的问题。不管是时间、条件还是让步状语从句，都从在这个省略现象，平时做题的过重要能一眼识别出来。如：When (they were) asked how to study English, they said they learned it by working with a group.
