选项 A、promised
B、reminded
C、offered
D、forced
答案D
解析 句中的sell their shares是卖掉股份的意思，根据上下文可知，这种行为不是正常的，而是在危机下不得不采取的行为，A．promised意为“保证”，应该是外国投资商要卖掉股份，所以在此句中不能用被动语态形式的be promised to do sth．。B．reminded意为“提醒”，卖掉股份这一举动是他们自己想到的，而不是某人或某事提醒的。C．offered意为“提供”，与A同理。D．forced意为“强迫”，be forced to do sth．表示“被迫做某事”。显然D符合上下文的意思。
