选项
A、as
B、which
C、for
D、so
答案
A
解析
此题属于语法题。根据语法,本题应填入非限定性定语从句的关系代词,故在选项as与选项which之间选择。两者均可引导非限定性定语从句,指代整个主句的意思,但as引导的定语从句对主句起相辅作用,表示"正如"等意义,位置灵活,可置于句首、句中或句末。例如:As is known to all,water consists of oxygen and hydrogen.(众所周知,水是由氢和氧组成的)。所以as是正确答案。选项for用于并列句中,表示"因为",例如:I caught a cold,for I had been walking around in the rain.选项so也用于并列句中,表示"所以"。
