Question

I didn't know the way___ you told me to solve the maths problem.?

I didn't know the way___ you told me to solve the maths problem.A.which B.that C.where D. A&B参考答案为D。理解为tell sb (the way)即主句的the way先行词在从句用which或者that 充当宾语吗？ 难道不可以这么理解这个题吗：可以用tell sb to do sth.结构，所以从句you told me to solve the maths problem是一个完整的句子吧，这样的话答案应该是B,是吗？ 这道题目不严谨吧，是不是B D都说得通呢？

Answer 1

你的意思就是从句you told me to solve the maths problem作way的同位语，所以只能用that，但一般接同位语的单词都是fact, news, idea, truth, hope, problem, information, wish,promise, answer, evidence, report, explanation, suggestion, conclusion等抽象名词，说明该名词的具体内容。way后面不经常接同位语从句，而且这里用限定比较合适，用说明具体内容不大合理。
如果按你的理解，the way that后面就应该跟解数学题的具体方法，比如换元法啦，叠代法啦等等。
