问题: 选什么?为什么? 顺便讲一下代词的用法好吗?

The English spoken in the United States is only slightly different from ______ spoken in England.
A. which B. what C. that D. the one

解答:

The English spoken in the United States is only slightly different from ___C___ spoken in England.
A. which B. what C. that D. the one
可以用排除法。Which和what引导宾语从句时,其句子必须是完整的,但在此,它们后面只有一个过去分词spoken,缺谓语(过去分词是非谓语动词,而非谓语动词不能作谓语),不完整,故排除A、B两项。The one只能指代可数名词单数,而此处English是不可数名词,故排除D。问提是,此处是the English, 不是指“英国人”吗?是的,the English相当于English people, 但这里the English spoken in the United States是特指“美国人说的英语”,是不可数名词,当然只能用that来代替了。答案为C。
