Question

()is no reason for dismissing her.

A.Because she was a few minutes late
B.Owing to a few minutes late
C.The fact that she was a few minutes late
D.Being a few minutes late

Answer 1

我觉得答案应该是C The fact that she was a few minutes late
句子所缺的成分是主语，应该选择的是可以充当主语的名词性从句。A和B都是原因状语从句，不符合。D 选项的being late的主体和句子中发出dismiss这个动词的主体并不一致，如果用D选项的表达，那么句子应该为Being a few minutes late is no reason for her being dismissed. 所以选择C最合适

Answer 2

选 D。就是独立分词做主语 就像 going to school is not a good idea 去学校不是个好主意一样，这里也是一样的。如果选C的话，语法上来说没有错，但是翻译起来就不妥了，这个事实没有理由解雇她。这个事实是指她迟了几分钟。那为什么不直接说成迟到几分钟不能成为开除她的理由。理由是 “迟到几分钟” ，不是 “事实”。

Answer 3

C.The fact that she was a few minutes late

她迟到了几分钟这件事不能/足以成为开除她的理由。

Answer 4

恩恩 我也觉得应该选D 初凭语感 细看语法：）

Answer 5

我认为正确答案应该为D
