The reason being late for the meeting was his little son fell ill this morning.
A.for, that
B.why, that
C.for, because
D.why, because
答案
A
题目分析:考查介词用法和表语从句,the reason与介词for连用,for后面接动名词的形式。第二空是由that引导的表语从句,句意:他会议迟到的原因是他的小儿子今天上午突然生病了。故A正确。注意没有The reason is because…的句式。
点评:The reason只能与because连用,形成表语从句。要注意名词性从句的引导词的使用,连接词that, whether, if在句中不充当任何成分,只起连接作用;连接代词who(ever), which(ever), whom(ever),whose(ever),what(ever)在句中做主语,宾语,表语和定语;连接副词when, why, where, how,在句中做状语。应从上下句的句法关系着手分析。
