8. “Please leave your keys at the reception before you depart,” the hotel staff told the guests.
→ The hotel staff________ the guests to leave their keys at the reception before they departed.
Đáp án: D. reminded
Giải thích: Xét về nghĩa của câu trực tiếp, nhân viên khách sạn đang muốn nhắc nhở khách để chìa khóa ở quầy lễ tân nên ta cần điền vào chỗ trống của câu gián tiếp một động từ tường thuật diễn tả sự nhắc nhở. Do đó, phương án D. reminded là phù hợp nhất. Ta có cấu trúc: “remind + O + to-V” (nhắc nhở ai làm gì).
Dịch nghĩa: “Please leave your keys at the reception before you depart,” the hotel staff told the guests. (“Làm ơn hãy để chìa khóa của quý khách ở quầy lễ tân trước khi quý khách rời đi.” nhân viên khách sạn nói với những người khách.)
→ The hotel staff reminded the guests to leave their keys at the reception before they departed. (Nhân viên khách sạn nhắc nhở những người khách để chìa khóa của họ ở quầy lễ tân trước khi họ rời đi.)
