单选题
The reason why she didn't show up at the party is ______ she got stuck in a traffic jam.
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】本题主要考查表语从句连接词的用法。题干意为:她没有在聚会上露面的原因是她遇上了交通堵塞。首先分析句子结构,整句话的谓语动词由is充当,构成主系表结构。The reason why she didn't show up at the party是主语,其中why引导了定语从句修饰the reason,去掉从句部分,主语为the reason,所以符合表语从句常见结构:The reason is that,that后引导表语从句。故选D项。A项,as不能引导表语从句。B项,The reason is because...为错误表述,句式杂糅。正确表述是The reason is that...或That is because...。C项,that不能引导表语从句。
