Answer 1

此题考查强调句的疑问句形式。
1. 为了方便我们的理解，先将其还原成陈述句形式：
It was __ that he managed to get the information.
2. 根据答句，将其补充完整则为：
It was a friend of his helped him that he managed to get the information.
3. 根据答语“噢,他的一个朋友帮了他的忙”可知，上句是问”他是怎么得到那消息的？”故用how.
4. 变成疑问句的形式：How was it that he managed to get the information?
5. why是针对原因的提问，若要选择D.则 Why did he manage to get the information?（为什么他能成功获得信息？）

Answer 2

您好，回答者说的是：哦，他的一个朋友帮了他。
所以问问题的人说的应该是：他是如何得到信息的？
因此选择C。
如果选择D，是：他为什么得到了信息？回答者应该说：Becase he.........
您所考虑的两个都对是从汉语思维方式出发的。
希望我的回答能解决您的问题！

Answer 3

你看回答是 oh , a friend of his helped him... 噢，是他的一个朋友帮了他。
所以问题就是 他是“怎么”获得这些信息的？
“怎么” 当然用How 咯

Answer 4

根据翻译 选D不通。
