Question

——What should I wear to attend his wedding party? ——Dress ____ you like C、whatever D、however

应该选D，答案说：“本题however you like相当于in whatever way you like，根据语境，不难判断出B为正确答案。”但是我还是不清楚为什么不能用dress whatever You like，求详解，谢谢！！

Answer 1

题目有误，这题没答案。
however是副词，副词是绝对不能作宾语的。但however you like中，however就作了动词like的宾语。
正确答案是whatever yourself in whatever you like！
whatever既可以作代词，也可以作副词，在这里是作代词。

Answer 2

dress 后面跟人,dress sb. ,不能直接跟衣服,需要加上一个介词in 才行
