Question

There was a very interesting remark in a book by an Englishman that I read recently ______ he thought was the reason for this American characteristic.

A．to give that

B．to give what

C．giving that

D．giving what

Answer 1

D

該句是復(fù)合句，主干部分為there was a very interesting remark in a book，介詞短語(yǔ)by an Englishman和定語(yǔ)從句that I read recently都修飾a book，分詞結(jié)構(gòu)giving...在句中作伴隨狀語(yǔ)，what he thought was a reason for...作giving的賓語(yǔ)，what he thought又作這個(gè)賓語(yǔ)從句的主語(yǔ)。
