Question

【题目】The reason ________ he gave for his absence from the meeting was ________ he was caught in a traffic jam.

A. why; because B. what; how

C. that; that D. what; if

Answer 1

【答案】C

【解析】考查定语从句和表语从句。他给出的缺席会议的理由就是他遇到了交通阻塞。

前面是定语从句，先行词reason 做从句谓语gave 的宾语，所以引导词用that; 后句是表语从句，因为从句不缺句子成分所以引导词用that。因此C为正确选项。
