Fox was advised to give the assignment to _______ he believed had a strong sense of responsibility.
a.whom b.whomever c.whoever d.that
c.whoever
whoever可以引导名词性从句(此处是宾语从句,名词性从句的一种),类似的词还有whatever,whichever等.之所以用whoever,而不是whomever,是因为在从句中做主语.请看还原后的句子:He believed Tom had a strong sense of responsibility.可以看出,tom是从句的主语,所以不能用whomever.另外,whom只能引导定语从句,而that在引导名词性从句时是不做从句成分的.而这里的从句缺少主语,所以填空出的词必须能承担主语.
翻译:fox得到的建议是,他认为谁最有责任心,就把这个任务交给谁去做.
句子结构分析:Fox was advised to give the assignment to:整个句子的主句(被动句)
whoever he believed had a strong sense of responsibility.一级从句,即整个句子的从句,这里做介词to的宾语,即宾语从句.其中,he believed是该从句中的主句,而(whoever)had a strong sense of responsibility是从句中的从句(宾语从句)
