Question

【题目】The Education Ministry proposed guidelines to decrease the amount of the homework given to students each day, _______ well above what they can endure.

A. whose burden B. their burden

C. for whom burden D. for whose burden

Answer 1

【答案】B

【解析】考查独立主格结构。句意：教育部提出了减少每天给学生的家庭作业量的指导方针，学生的负担远远超出了他们所能承受的范围。“_______ well above what they can endure”没有谓语动词，所以是独立主格结构作状语，无需连词，此处指“学生的负担超出了他们能够承受的范围”。故选B。
