Question

I thought her nice and honest ________ I met her．

A. first time
B. for the first time
C. the first time
D. by the first time

Answer 1

答案C
the first time可以相当于一个连词来引导一个从句，类似的还有：the second; the minute; the moment; immediately等。
本题考查时间状语的连接词。for the first time只能单独作状语，不能用作连词来引导从句。A、D项表达不对。此处用the first time引导时间状语从句。故答案为C。
