A. were invited
B. was invited
C. have been invited
D. has been invited
网友回答
A. were invited
(答案→)B. was invited
C. have been invited
D. has been invited
解析：选B。题干的意思是：“这位著名的音乐家和他的学生被邀请为2012年台北花卉展的开幕式表演。”“被邀请”是一个发生在过去的动作，而且不表示对现在造成了影响，也不表示动作持续到现在，所以不能选用完成时。根据主谓一致的语法规则，A as well as B作主语时，遵循“就前原则”，也就是说谓语动词要和A保持一致。也可以理解为本句的主语是A而不是B，所以本题谓语动词的数要和the famous musician保持一致，用was invited。
