高中英语语法：定语从句

Life is like a long race ( ) we compete with others to go beyond ourselves.
A.why B.what C.that D.where
求答案及详细解析，谢谢。

Answer 1

D。句子意思是：生活是一场长跑，我们通过与他人竞跑去超越自我。we compete with others in a long race to go beyong ourselves.你平时做题可以这样掉转语序思考。句子中缺少了in,所以用where，life is like a long race where we compete with others = life is like a long race in which we compete with others.

Answer 2

D what从来不引导定语从句，直接排除。why的先行词是原因。that在定语从句中做主语或宾语，且先行词是人或者物皆可。where在定语从句中做状语。这个句子中，应该是在漫长的比赛中我们和出我们自己在外的别人竞赛，是做状语的。

Answer 3

D....

这种表示，状态，环境的。。。都用 where ...
