Question

The government has promised to do ______ lies in its power to relieve the hardships of the victims in the snow-stricken area.

A．however

B．wherever

C．whatever

D．whichever

Answer 1

C

试题分析：考查宾语从句。本题whatever lies in its power是一个宾语从句，作为动词do的宾语，whatever在句中做主语。句意：政府允诺做权利范围之内的任何事情来缓解雪灾地区受害者的生活困难问题。故C正确。AB项不能在句中主语主语。D项是指特定范围之内的某一个。
点评：要注意whatever可以引导让步状语从句也可以引导名词性从句。而no matter+特殊疑问词只能引导让步状语从句，不能引导名词性从句；也要注意连接副词how, where, when, why只能在句中做状语。
