In North America, the Nebraska culture that succeeded the Woodland culture about A.D 1300 pioneered in _______ to become the area's chief economic activity, agriculture.
(A) it was
(B) which was
(C) what was
(D) was
为什么选C,谁能帮忙分析一下?多谢!
老师答疑
龙老师:
▲用排除法做:根据空格前的介词 in 可知,答案肯定不能选 A 和 D,因为介词后面不能接跟句子或动词 was。如果选 B,则构成 in which was to become…结构,很显然它是一个定语从句,但是前面却没有定语从句所修饰的先行词,故也不能选;所以只能选 C。
▲答案 C 的分析:in what was to become…中的 in 为介词,其后的 what 引导宾语从句(用作介词 in 的宾语),这个 what 在意义上相当于 the thing that。
