单选题 Louise Simms wants workshop participants to be in the art room ______ she begins her lecture so as to avoid any interruptions.
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[解析] 时间状语从句
这句话中的主要成分是“Louise Simms wants workshop participants to be in the art room”,修饰成分是“______ she begins her lecture so as to avoid any interruptions”,修饰成分中有谓语begins,因此答案是可以引导状语从句的A或C。根据上下文语意,此处意为“希望研讨班的参加者在上课前都可以赶到美术室”,所以应选A. before(在……之前)。C. except表示“除……之外”,句意不通。B. off(离开)与D. on(在……上)都是介词,后面应该跟名词,不能引导状语从句。
