Question

"Either Niu Fen or Zhang Wei told on them. Next morning we were summoned to the office of the school's Revolutionary Committee. The leaders asked us to describe what we had seen and heard." What conclusion can be drawn from the text? As it is used in the passage above, the meaning of told on is "reported." As it is used in the passage above, the meaning of told on is "concealed." As it is used in the passage above, the meaning of told on is "understood." As it is used in the passage above

Answer 1

A. Reported

Step-by-step explanation:

As used in the excerpt above, the meaning of told is reported, because told never means concealed, or understood. D is incomplete, so it also cannot be the answer.

Answer 2

As it is used in the passage above, the meaning of told on is "reported."

In this passage, told means to be reported. This passage is the typical kids going to the principal's office scenario. However, from the first sentence we know that the narrator believes Niu Fen or Zhang Wei reported the narrator and his accomplice(s) to the leaders. Since they were called to the office, it is unlikely anything was concealed, and the word understood simply does not make sense.
