Why the explosion occurred was ____ the laboratory attendant had been careless.
A. for
B. because
C. since
D. that
题目解答
答案
D. that
解析
本题考查表语从句的连接词选择。关键在于识别句子结构中的系动词和表语从句。主句为"Why the explosion occurred was...",其中"Why the explosion occurred"是主语从句作主语,系动词"was"后需接表语从句。此时,that作为连接词引导表语从句,不充当成分,但不可省略。其他选项(because, since, for)均不符合表语从句的语法要求。
选项分析
- A. for:表示原因时为介词,需接名词或动名词,不能引导从句,排除。
- B. because:引导原因状语从句,但不能直接跟在系动词后构成表语从句(如"The reason is because..."为非正式用法),排除。
- C. since:引导原因状语从句(表示"既然"),但同样不能用于表语从句,排除。
- D. that:唯一能引导表语从句的连接词,使句子结构完整,正确。
