题目解答
答案
C. be set up
解析
步骤 1：分析句子结构
句子的主干是 "Many a delegate was in favor of his proposal"，其中 "Many a delegate" 是主语，"was in favor of" 是谓语，"his proposal" 是宾语。"that a special committee （） to investigate the incident" 是同位语从句，解释 "his proposal" 的具体内容。
步骤 2：确定从句的时态和语态
从句中的 "a special committee" 是主语，"to investigate the incident" 是目的状语。由于 "proposal" 表示建议，从句中应使用虚拟语气，即 "should + 动词原形"，其中 "should" 可以省略。因此，从句的谓语动词应为 "be set up"，表示被动语态。
步骤 3：选择正确答案
根据以上分析，从句的谓语动词应为 "be set up"，因此正确答案是 C。
