It’ s 8 o’ clock on Tuesday, May 1st. Here is the news: Between the hours of 7:00 and 8:00 P.M. last night, 5 thieves broke into the country house of Lord and Lady Chesterfield on an island. They entered by a window at the rear of the house and surprised the owners who were watching television in the drawing room. After disconnecting the telephone and tying up Lord and lady Chest-field, the thieves escaped with 16 precious paintings. The market value of such art work has been estimated at somewhere around 4 million pounds. Lord and Lady Chesterfield were not seriously harmed but have been treated for shock in the hospital.
Early this morning a woman with a Scottish accent telephoned the Times of London to say that the Chesterfield Organization for Freedom claimed responsibility for the theft. This is the third time this year that this organization has claimed responsibility for an act of this kind. The organization defends all the farmers on the island. The farmers were forced to leave their lands when Lord Chesterfield, their landlord, refused to renew their traditional lease last year in order to extend the reservation area for birds.
选项
A、He accused them of the theft.
B、He raised the rents.
C、He refused to prolong their land lease.
