Question

Now that energy prices are rising so rapidly, further prices are very uncertain, and the risk _____ a new investment depending on them may fail is greater.

A. by which　　 B. of　　 C. that　 D. in that

 

Answer 1

C

句意: 由于能源价格快速飙升, 因此以后的价格很不确定, 这样依赖能源的新的投资风险也在加大。题干由and连接的两个分句构成, 第一个分句含一原因状语从句, 即: Now that energy prices are rising so rapidly, 后面的further prices are very uncertain 为主句。a new investment depending on them may fail作the risk的同位语, 同位语从句中不缺任何成分, 故只需用that作引导词。
