问题: 请分析这道题目

It is reported that two schools,________ are being built in my hometown,will open next year.
A.they both B.which both
C.both of them D.both of which

解答:

选D.both of which

本句的主干是:
It is reported that two schools will open next year.
(其中that引导的是一个主语从句,并且这个主语从句又是一个带有定语从句的复合句)。
而剩下的中间部分则是定语从句,修饰先行词schools。
(整个主语从句是: two schools,both of which are being built in my hometown,will open next year. )


这样我们能从both of 结构可以排除A和B答案,但C也不行,是因为从句是需要有连词引导的,若选C,则全句无连词来连接该定语从句。

或者换个角度说,如果选择了C答案,那么我们发现,在这个主语从句里将有两处谓语了(are being built和will open)。在同一个句子中是不能同时有两个谓语的,除非其中一个是从句的谓语,所以,必须选D答案才能使本句正确。
