选择题
The reason _______ he gave at the meeting was not the exact reason _______ he failed to show up on time.
A.why; that
B.which; that
C.that; why
D.that; which
答案
答案:C
题目分析:考查定语从句,第一空是定语从句,先行词是the reason,定语从句缺少宾语,用that或是which引导定语从句,第二空填why引导定语从句,先行词是the reason,定语从句缺少原因状语,句意:他在开会的时候给出的原因不是他没能准时出现的真正原因,选C。
点评:定语从句的考查主要集中在句子成分的分析。如果从句中缺少主语,宾语,表语定语使用关系动词。如果从句很完整,则使用关系副词。这题先行词同样是the reason,但是因为在定语从句中缺少的成分不一样,选用引导词也不一样。
