Question

以下这句是什么句型？2个谓语部分，哪一个是主句谓语？

There was nothing any of its estimated 40,000 victims could have done to prevent it from happening.

Answer 1

there was nothing 是主句，主句谓语动词是 was ，any of .....happening 是从句 ，这个从句是定语从句，省略了关系代词 that，that 作从句 谓语动词could
have done 的宾语。

Answer 2

这是一个定语从句，省略了that；
There was nothing （that）any of its estimated 40,000 victims could have done to prevent it from happening.
（that）any of its estimated 40,000 victims could have done 是个定语从句，修饰nothing

Answer 3

这是个复合句。

主句是：There was nothing。后面是个较长的定语从句，省略了引导词that。本来应该是：

There was nothing that any of…

其中，any of its estimated 40000 victims是从句主语。

have done是从句谓语。to prevent…是从句目的状语。

Answer 4

定语从句是紧跟在它所修饰的名词或代词的后面，所以定语从句是跟在一个代词或名词后面的。当然不会划分定语从句的根本原因是你没读懂这句话的意思
