参考答案

正确答案：B
解析：这是一道细节理解题。解题句是第一段最后几句"Jackson was similar in appearance to the guilty man．The two women have made a mistake in identity．As a result，Jackson has lost five years of his life．”(杰克逊与罪犯相貌相近。由于两位妇女的错误指认，杰克逊失去了五年的光阴o)而选项B“The victims mistook him for the real criminal．”(受害者将他错认为罪犯。)符合原文。mistake sb／sth for sb／sth else意即将某人或某物错认为其他人或物，故选B。
