Question

“Where did you find the professor who made the speech yesterday?” “It was in the hall _________ the students often have a meeting.”

A．where

B．which

C．that

D．when

Answer 1

A

假若選C，即有 It was in the hall that the students often have a meeting，該句的意思是“學生們通常是在大廳開會”，單獨看這一句，無論是其意思還是其語法均未錯，但若將其與上文聯(lián)系起來看，則不通，因為上文的意思是“你是在哪兒找到昨天作報告的那位教授的?”假若將答句改為 It was in the hall that I found the professor，則完全可以。
其實，此題的最佳答案是A，where the students often have a meeting 為定語從句，用以修飾其前的名詞 the hall，句意為“是在學生們經常開會的那個大廳(找到教授的)”，這樣語意就通順了。
