问题
选择题
— What on earth did the manager want to know? — ____ that we could finish the project.
A.What it was
B.What was it
C.When was it
D.When it was
答案
D
题目分析:考查强调句的特殊疑问句做宾语从句:句意:经理究竟想知道什么?--(他想知道)我们什么时候完成计划。这是省略句,完整的句子是:The manager wanted to know when it was that we could finish the project.因为是做的宾语从句,所以语序应该是陈述句语序,排除BC,另外这题是强调句的特殊问句,结构是:特殊疑问词+is/was+it+that+其余部分,特殊疑问词的选择要看句子成分和句意,因为这句话不缺主宾表,缺少的是时间状语,选D。
