一道高中英语题，关于定语从句的

Grandpa Liu,for _____life was hard in the past,works very hard although in his sixties.
A.him B.whom C.his D.whose
key:B
为什么不选D啊？请详细解答，谢谢

Answer 1

答案：B

解释：楼主要理解句子的结构和whom/whose的用法。
1. 关系代词whom代指先行词Granpa Liu，并代入定语从句中，为：
for (whom) life was hard in the past
= life was hard in the past for (whom)
= life was hard in the past for (Grandpa Liu)
对于刘爷爷来说，过去的生活非常艰苦
2. 如果用whose，则whose = Grandpa Liu's，将其代入定语从句中后，句子明显有误
除非定语从句改成：whose life was hard in the past
即：(whose) life was hard in the past
= (Grandpa Liu's) life was hard in the past
过去刘爷爷的生活非常艰苦

Answer 2

如果去掉那个for 选D就对了
你考虑把那个部分倒装
life was hard in the past for__ 这里填who显然更合适

Answer 3

亲爱的同学，这里面牵扯到一个定语从句中的语言点：关系代词作介词宾语并且介词前置定语从句的关系代词用whom、which。先行词是人就用whom，先行词是物就用which。
我们还原后为：life was hard for Grandpa Liu in the past。
之所以不选whose是因为，whose在定语从句中作定语，不作宾语

Answer 4

Life was hard for him,whom指的是him

Answer 5

看句意就行了 明明是 刘爷爷过去过的是苦日子 现在六十多岁还努力工作
从句的主语是逗号前的部分 即刘爷爷
