________, Mother will wait for him to have dinner together.
A．However late is he
B．However he is late
C．However is he late
D．However late he is
【精析与答案】 D。选B不行吗

Answer 1

B不行，意思汇编成，‘可是，他迟到了’，D意思是‘无论他有多迟’，有差别滴。

Answer 2

翻译成“无论他回来得多么晚, 妈妈都会等他一起吃晚饭。”此处however相当于no matter how, 引导让步状语从句, 从句是陈述语序, 不倒装。
