After living in Paris for fifty years he returned to the small town ___________ he grew up as a child.( )
A. which
B. where
C. that
D. when
题目解答
答案
B. where
解析
本题考查定语从句中关系词的用法。解题关键在于:
- 明确定语从句修饰的先行词是地点名词(town);
- 分析从句中缺少的成分——地点状语;
- 选择能表达地点意义的关系副词where。
句子结构分析
原句主干为:
he returned to the small town
空格处引导的定语从句修饰先行词town,需表达“他小时候生长的小镇”。
关系词选择
- where:关系副词,修饰地点名词
town,在从句中作地点状语(相当于in the town)。 - which/that:关系代词,需在从句中作主语或宾语,但本题从句中
grow up缺少地点状语,因此排除。 - when:关系副词,修饰时间,与先行词
town(地点)无关,排除。
