Helen was much kinder to her youngest son than to the others, __________, of course, made the others envy him.
A. who
B. that
C. what
D. which
题目解答
答案
D. which
解析
本题考查非限制性定语从句的用法。关键点在于判断从句与主句之间的逻辑关系,以及连接词的选择。
- 核心思路:句子后半部分“made the others envy him”是对前文“Helen was much kinder to her youngest son than to the others”这一行为结果的补充说明,属于结果状语。
- 破题关键:需用which引导非限制性定语从句,指代前面整个主句的内容,表示“这种情况导致的结果”。
选项分析
- A. who:用于指代人,在定语从句中作主语或宾语,但此处需指代整个主句内容,排除。
- B. that:通常用于限制性定语从句,且不可用于非限制性定语从句,排除。
- C. what:不能引导定语从句,排除。
- D. which:正确选项。引导非限制性定语从句,指代前文整个主句内容(即“Helen对小儿子偏爱”这一行为),表示结果。
句子结构拆解
原句可拆分为:
- 主句:Helen was much kinder to her youngest son than to the others.
- 非限制性定语从句:which made the others envy him.
- which指代前文描述的“偏爱行为”,表示“这种行为导致的结果”。
