英文大考常考題  -  42  [ 指示代名詞 that 或 those 代替前面提過的事物 ]

綜合測驗   

… More severe crimes, such as murder, could lead to a life sentence.  It is interesting to question whether punishment nowadays is more humane than ________ was practiced in ancient times.  Is it crueler to lock up a human being for life, or end his or her life?

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

這題答案是 (A)。  (三民書局 英文四自學手冊A – p.192)

這題的重點與英文大考常考題 – 3相同：

1.   當二件事物在做比較的時候，若比較的事物是相同類型，可以用指示代名詞[ that ]或[ those ]代替前面提過的事物。[ that ]代表單數，[ those ]代表複數。

      這題的[ that ]是指[ punishment ]。
