where
引导；
C
中
mostly
表示“通常，大
部分”<
/p>
，意思不通顺；表示“最想”

(1994)
A.
whomever
B. who
C. whom
D. whoever
D
，介词
t
o

whom
< br>和
whomever

不能在从句中作主语，
AC

A. that
needs handling
B. which needs
handling
C. it
needs handling
D. needs to be
handled
D

ABC<
/p>
都有多余的主语成分。

the personnel manager's office. (99)
A. that
B. there
C. what
D. it
C
，
after
在句中时介词还是连词？如果是连词，从句中
的时态通常为完成体，所以排除连词的可
能性。既然
after
是介词，那么后面必定是宾语从句，后面的从句缺主语，只有
w
hat
既引导宾语
从句，又在宾语从句中作主语；
BD
都不能引导宾语从句。
A
虽然可以引导宾语从句，但不在从
句中充当任何语法成分。
