单选题
The reason______he gave me is not adequate for his being late for class.
【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】[解析] 本题考查定语从句关系词的用法。从本句的含义和结构可以看出,代替先行词“reason”的关系代词在定语从句“he gave me…”中充当(直接)宾语,而不是充当原因状语,因此不能选择关系副词why。that和which在定语从句中可以充当主语和宾语。比较:The reason why he was late for class is not clear.
[译文] 对他上课迟到一事,他给出的理由不充分。
