━━━━━━━━━━━━

























































Thousands of people [          ] when the company declared it would restructure the entire organization.

(1) fired
(2) was fired

【答え】

【解説】

















































































(3) were fired

文脈から、空欄には受け身を表す受動態が入ることがわかります。主語のThousands of peopleは複数なので、(3) were firedが正解となります。
Thousands of people were fired when the company declared it would restructure the entire organization.
訳:会社が組織全体の再編を発表したとき、何千人もの人々が解雇されました。
●その他の選択肢●
(1) fired(受動態ではないので×)
(2) was fired(wasは単数形なので×)
