尊敬的樓主及樓上各位老師,我的看法不同,這句話沒有錯誤,只是答案應該是D.
He needs to be told the truth.= The truth needs to be told to him.（他需要被告知真相.）
請樓主核對答案.
真的無語,許多人甚至高手解英語題像解數(shù)學題和物理題一樣套用公式,我就納了悶了,如果 He needs to be told the truth.這句話是錯誤的,那么,I want to be told the news .這句話又怎樣呢?“sth + need/ want/require + doing/ to be done”這個句型地球人都知道,但它的主語是事物呀!
回答樓主的補充問題：
We need to tell him the truth = The truth needs to be told to him （by us）=He needs to be told the truth （by us）.tell 接雙賓語,第二句話將直接賓語truth作為被動語態(tài)句子的主語；第三句話將間接賓語 him 作為被動語態(tài)的主語.您可以把 need to 整個看成一個助動詞.
