Lời giải

Câu gốc: He was sentenced to six months in prison for his part in the robbery.

(Anh ta bị kết án sáu tháng tù vì tham gia vào vụ cướp.)

Ta có: "Sentenced" có nghĩa là bị kết án.

Đáp án B diễn đạt lại ý nghĩa chính xác bằng cách dùng "a six-month sentence," trong đó:

→ six-month (dấu gạch nối) là tính từ bổ nghĩa cho "sentence."

Tạm dịch: Anh ta nhận án tù sáu tháng vì tham gia vụ cướp.
