綜合測驗

… Although winners receive no money, many of them are willing to attend the ceremony at their expense. What attracts the winners to show up in the ceremony may be ________ a genuine Nobel laureate will present the award to them…

(A) that           (B) which          (C) this              (D) what

這題答案是 (A)。 (翰林出版全國高中月考期考試題挖挖哇英文二新竹女中試題 p.112)

這題的重點是名詞子句當主詞補語。

1.   [ What attracts the winners … ] = [ The thing which attracts the winners … ]

     而整個句子的主詞就是[ the thing ]，它的動詞是[ be ]動詞，所以緊接在後的就是主詞補語。

     [ which ]是關係代名詞 – ( X )

     [ this ]代名詞 – ( X )

     [ what ]是包含先行詞的關係代名詞 – ( X )

     [ that ]引導名詞子句，可以當主詞補語 – ( O )

     其他例句：

     1) The fact is that global warming becomes worst year after year.

     2) The reason is that I am too busy to dine with you.

     3) She is afraid that her son is seriously addicted to iPad.
