Question

【题目】He started early _______he could get there before nine

A. in order that　　B. because　　　 C. so as to　　 D. in order to

Answer 1

【答案】A

【解析】

试题句意：他出发的很早为了他能够9点之前到那里。 in order that =so that+从句，为了……，以便……，引导目的或结果状语从句。题目缺少表示目的“为了”的短语，而B,because引导原因状语。且句中又有could，有些矛盾，可以说：He got there before nine because he started early .；so as to=in order to（+动词原形）都是表示“为了”，表“目的”或“结果”，但是，它们不能接从句。故选A。
