Question

英语选择题11

Professor hunter was soon told_ he discovered was not important to them.
A.why that
B.why what
C.that why
D.what why
为什么选B呢？(⊙_⊙?)

Answer 1

选项：B. why what

解析：这是一个多重复合句
1. 主句：Professor Hunter was soon told 亨特教授不久被告知
2. 宾语从句：why what he discovered was not important to them. 该宾语从句是个带有what引导的主语从句，也是复合句。其中——
1）主句：... was not important to them 对他们来说是不重要的
2）主语从句：what he discovered 他所发现的。
3. 翻译：亨特教授不久被告知他所发现的对他们来说是不重要的。

Answer 2

B

Answer 3

B。told后接why引导的宾语从句，宾语从句中又有what引导主语从句作宾语从句的主语。
