单选题 This is an ideal site for a university ______ it is far from the downtown area.
A. now that B. as if C. in that D. even if

【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[解析] 本题考查的是由in that(因为)引导的原因状语从句。根据句意不难选出正确答案为选项C。常用于引导原因状语从句的连词有:because,since,as,for,now that等。如:Now that you have passed the driving test, you can drive all by yourself.(既然你已经通过了驾驶考试,你就可以自已开车了。)
选项A(既然)也引导原因状语从句,用法与since类似,常用于口语中,且常居于句首;选项B(好像)引导状语从句,一般从句用虚拟语气;选项D(即使)引导让步状语从句。
