The witness was told that under no circumstances should he lie to the court.

The witness was told that under no circumstances should he lie to the court.

A、正确

B、错误

正确答案：A

答案解析：“under no circumstances”意为“在任何情况下都不”，表示否定意义，当它置于句首时，句子需部分倒装，即把情态动词、助动词或be动词提到主语之前。此句“under no circumstances should he lie to the court”中，将情态动词“should”提到了主语“he”之前，符合部分倒装的语法规则，句子表达“证人被告知在任何情况下都不应该对法庭说谎”，语义通顺，语法正确，所以该表述正确。
