Each employee,____ his/her spot on the totem pole,has an influence on how Google performs.( )
A. regardless of
B. even though
C. although
题目解答
答案
A. regardless of
解析
本题考查让步状语从句的连接词用法。关键点在于区分介词短语与从属连词的适用场景:
- regardless of 是介词,后接名词或动名词;
- even though 和 although 是从属连词,需引导完整句子。
题目中空格后为名词短语(his/her spot on the totem pole),无法构成完整句子,因此需选择介词短语 regardless of。
选项分析
A. regardless of
- 介词,后接名词或动名词,表示“不管,不顾”。
- 例句:Regardless of the weather, we will go.(无论天气如何,我们都会去。)
B. even though
- 从属连词,引导让步状语从句,需接完整句子。
- 例句:Even though it rains, we will go.(即使下雨,我们也会去。)
C. although
- 从属连词,用法与 even though 相同,需接完整句子。
- 例句:Although he is rich, he is unhappy.(虽然他很富有,但他不快乐。)
句子结构分析
原句中,空格后为名词短语 his/her spot on the totem pole,无法构成完整句子,因此需选择介词 regardless of,而非从属连词 even though 或 although。
