Question

John shut everybody out of the kitchen ________ he could prepare his grand surprise for the party.

A．which

B．when

C．so that

D．as if

 

Answer 1

答案：C
解析：

as if所接从句中常为某种“假定情况”下的行为，从本题设空前后两个分句的句意来看，显然不符。

提示：

比较设空前后两个分句的句意：     John shut everybody out of the kitchen(He didn’t want others to know what he was doing there)．     ...he Could prepare his grand surprise for the party(That’s why he did so；his purpose)．     后面的句子应该是一个目的从句。四个选项中只有so that可以引导这类从句。
