Question

– ______ you didn’t turn up at the party last weekend?
-- My plane was delayed by two hours.

A．What was it

B．When was it

C．How long was it that

D．Why was it that

Answer 1

D

考查情景交际和强调句型。“你为什么没有参加上周的晚会？”“我的飞机晚点了两个小时。”本题考查的是强调句的疑问式。It is ...that可以强调除谓语意外的任何成分，强调人时可以用who。本题强调的是why，即没去晚会的原因。故选D。
