请解释详细些，谢谢

Answer 1

( D) no cause for alarm,the old man went back to his room.
A.There was ,there was ...是完整句子。两个完整句子，要有连接词，如and,but等。
B.Since .这里的since应该是连接词，后面要加句子。但后面没有谓语动词。
C.Being，being的逻辑主语是后面的the old man, 意思不通。
D.There being. there being +.....是独立 主格结构，表示原因，说明老人为什么回到自己的房间。

Answer 2

A中the man to draw back是主谓关系 B中 a family to support是动宾关系 D中nothing to fear式动宾关系 C the urge是对 to tell a lie的解释说明，同位语在句子中充当对先行词的解释说明作用
