题目解答
答案
C
解析
句子的主干是 "The word geography (37) from two Greek words, gee, the Greek word for” earth" and graphein, (38) means "to write. ”"。其中，"gee" 和 "graphein" 是两个希腊词，分别代表 "earth" 和 "to write"。括号中的内容是对 "graphein" 的解释，因此需要一个引导词来连接这个解释。
步骤 2：分析选项
A. what - 不能引导非限制性定语从句。
B. that - 可以引导定语从句，但通常用于限制性定语从句。
C. which - 可以引导非限制性定语从句，用于指代前面的名词或整个句子。
D. it - 不能引导定语从句。
步骤 3：选择合适的引导词
由于括号中的内容是对 "graphein" 的解释，且是非限制性定语从句，因此需要一个非限制性定语从句的引导词。在选项中，只有 "which" 可以引导非限制性定语从句。
