Question

how excited the Smiths most was that Obama was elected President of the USA once anain

1.为什么是how不是what，
2.was that 的that可以省略或者用what，how，whether什么替换吗？？？？为什么

Answer 1

How excited the Smiths most was that Obama was elected President of the USA once again.
1.为什么是how不是what？
此句用How错误。应该用What。因为what=the thing which/ that。
What excited the Smiths most主语从句
was that Obama was elected President of the USA once anaing系表结构做复合谓语。
2.was that 的that可以省略或者用what，how，whether什么替换吗？？？？
was that 中的that不可以省略。因为【引导表语从句的连词that不能省略】。用what错误，因为句中的句子成分不需要连接代词做主语或宾语或表语。用how替换that是可以的，但是句意就是：“最使 the Smiths兴奋/激动的事是【Obama{如何}再次被选举为美国总统】”的意思。whether不能替换that，因为whether的意思是“是否”，Obama【是否】再次被选举为美国总统，怎能使the Smiths兴奋/激动呢，你说是吗？

Answer 2

首先，excited是形容词，所以只能用how,what后面要有名词，所以只能用how，其次，that引导宾语从句，这个时候绝对不能省略，望采纳

我觉得是主语从句，，，，不是感叹句！
而且后面的是表语从句

追答

很明显 that后面引导的句子做was 的宾语，怎么可能是主语从句

Answer 3

Is this the whole sentence? It doesn't seem to make any sense. Please copy the whole sentence for me.

Answer 4

WAS THAT的THAT不能省略，不能用HOW等替换.句子的意思是让史密斯最为激动的是奥巴马连任

1.为什么是how不是what，

how是修饰动词之类的，WHAT,举个例子可以说WHAT A NICE MAN
