A、ordered
B、expected
C、taught
D、encouraged
【正确答案】：B
【题目解析】：在第29题中，根据原文内容，“She told me seriously that guests were _____ to be back in the hotel by 11 o'clock.”，这里的语境是酒店经理严肃地告诉客人，客人应该在晚上11点前回到酒店。根据这个语境，我们需要找到一个与“期望”或“规定”相关的动词。 A选项“ordered”表示“命令”，虽然酒店可能有规定要求客人按时返回，但原文的语气更偏向于“期望”而非“命令”，因此A选项不是最佳选择。 B选项“expected”表示“期望”，符合原文的语境，即酒店期望客人能在规定的时间内返回。 C选项“taught”表示“教”，与原文内容不符，可以排除。 D选项“encouraged”表示“鼓励”，虽然与期望有一定的关联，但在这里用“鼓励”并不符合酒店经理严肃告诉客人应该按时返回的情景。 因此，根据原文的语境和选项的含义，正确答案应该是B选项“expected”。
