Question

【題目】— Why were you late for school, Jack?

— Sorry. I was late for school _______ the heavy traffic.

A.becauseB.sinceC.because ofD.as

Answer 1

【答案】C

【解析】

句意：——為什么你上學(xué)遲到了，杰克？——對不起。我上學(xué)遲到因為交通擁擠。

考查介詞短語。because因為，引導(dǎo)原因狀語從句；since由于，引導(dǎo)原因狀語從句；because of因為，后跟名詞、名詞短語或代詞賓格；as由于，引導(dǎo)原因狀語從句。根據(jù)the heavy traffic可知，后跟名詞短語只能用because of，故選C。
