单选题

Hercules served a king. The king was afraid of him. So again and again he sent him on difficult tasks. One morning the king sent for him and told him to fetch three golden apples for him from the garden of the Singing Maidens (歌女). But no one knew where the garden was.

Q: Hercules was given many difficult tasks because the king wanted to get rid of him.

A、Right

B、Wrong

C、Not mentioned

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】 句子的意思是：国王想除掉Hercules，所以交给他很多艰巨的工作去做。这个信息在短文第二句和第三句中提到了，与短文的意思相符(国王很害怕Hercules，多次交给他艰巨的工作去做)，由此可以推断本题的正确选项为A。
