Few people know the fact ______ was not until 1936 that basketball became a regular part of the Olympic Games. A．it that B．that it C．that D．it

Answer 1

B

本题考查同位语从句。分析句子结构是做对该题的关键，the fact后的句子是对fact内容的进一步解释，是同位语从句，语意完整，用that引导，而且that不可省略；由句中“not until 1936 that...”可知是not...until结构的强调句型，应是it was not until...that，故选B。
