_________ you may have, you should gather your courage to face the challenge.
A.However a serious problem
B.What a serious problem
C.However serious a problem
D.What serious a problem
答案:C
题目分析:考查让步状语从句。句意为:不论你的问题有多严重,你都应该鼓起勇气面对挑战。分析题干可知逗号前面是让步状语从句,what 不能用来引导让步状语从句,故排除B、D 两项; however+adj.+a/an+单数名词=whatever a/an +adj.+单数名词,故C 项为正确答案。
点评:让步状语从句是状语从句中的一种,其本身也是状语从句。一般翻译为“尽管……”或“即使……”,就是我们日常生活中用的“退一步说……”的感觉。引导让步状语从句的连词主要有以下这些:though, although, while, as; even if, even though; whether...or...; no matter+疑问词,疑问词-ever,regardless of+名词/名词短语/名词从句,despite,in spite of。切记although,though 不可与but连用,但可以与yet连用。
