Question

The reason_he gave for not coming was_his mother wouldn't allow him to.

A:for which;that
B:which;because
C:why;that
D:which;that
答案选D，为什么？

Answer 1

翻译一下句子，应该是：他给的没有来的原因是他母亲不允许
1.the reason ...for...是...的原因
he gave 是the reason 的定语，the reason 就是先行词，后面就接that 或which
2.整个句子的骨架是the reason was...是宾语从句，所以就用that

Answer 2

which引导定语从句，修饰the reason，The reason which he gave 他给出的原因
was that...是同位语从句，同位语从句只能用that引导

Answer 3

which为关联代词，代the reason，作he gave的宾语；
第二空后面为reason的内容，是reason的同位语从句，用that引导。

Answer 4

which是引导he gave for not coming 作为reason的定语从句
that是引导his mother wouldn't allow him to作为整个句子的表语从句
