It was the natural disaster, rather than...

It was the natural disaster, rather than human errors, that ________ for the death of so many innocent people.

A. are blamed    B. was to blame    C. was blamed    D. were to blame

 

B 【解析】考查主谓一致以及be to blame的用法。句意:是自然灾害,而不是人为错误,应对这么多无辜人类的死亡负责。表示"应受责备,应对…负责"时,用be to blame for…,固定短语,因此排除A、C项;这里强调主语the natural disaster,是一个强调句,谓语动词应与主语保持一致, 即与the natural disaster保持一致,因此用was to blame,故B项正确。
