单选题
______the expansion plan was not authorized by the board, the company will no longer be accepting bids from construction firms.
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】解析:这句话的主要成分是“the company will no longer be accepting bids”,修饰成分是“_______the expansion plan was not authorized by the board”,这个修饰成分是有谓语(was not authorized)的完整分句,可以引导它的状语从句引导词有(B)和(C)。根据上下文语义,此处意为“考虑到扩张计划没有得到批准,公司将不会再接受投标”,应选(B)Given that(考虑到)。选(C)As if(似乎,仿佛)的话,句意不通。(A)Apart from表示“除……外”,作为介词不能引导完整分句。关系代词(D)Which要与先行词一起使用才行,也不正确。
