Can you tell me whom the play ____ in 1998
A.was written by B.was written C.is written by D.is written
,为什么?

你能不能告诉我是谁在1998年写了这部话剧? 1998年是过去了,所以要用过去式,即was。排除C、D选项。又因为这个句子是被动语态,所以用by表示指向。

选C吧。
虽然是过去式,但这应该是描述的一个事实,所以不用过去式was而用is
另外,这出戏剧是XX写的,应该是written by someone

因为时间是1988,所以使用过去式,排除CD
be written by whom:由谁而写(by不可以省略)
选择A
