Question

___we give him something to eat,he would save up for his little sister.

A.Whatever B.However C.Whenever D.Whichever
我选的A，正确答案是C。不是说whatever=no matter what吗？还有人说有something就不能选A，这是为什么。。

Answer 1

正确答案是C。whatever=no matter what。
因为give sb sth不再需要宾语成分，"to eat吃"的“东西sth”已经有了，不再需要“吃”的“东西”了。 whatever是“连接代词”需要在句中做“主语或宾语”成分。而whenever是连接副词，用作状语。
如果对你有帮助，请采纳。谢谢！

Answer 2

如果是选A，那么应该说，Whatever we give him to eat，he would save up for his little sister.to eat 做something的宾语补足语，如果填whatever，to eat应该修饰的是what而本句已经有宾语something了，前面就不应该有what了，所以填Whenever，无论我们给他什么吃，他都会省下给他的妹妹。
希望对你有所帮助。

Answer 3

we give him something to eat 中已经有了宾语something，不能再选whatever；
去掉something就可以选whatever。 Whatever we give him to eat,......

Answer 4

因为句子里已经有something了，所以肯定不会是whatever或whichever了，根据上下文联系，只能选c了。无论何时我们给他点吃的，他就会留给他妹妹。
