Question

Could I speak to ____ is ____ the company, please?

A．whomever; in possession of

B．someone; in the possession of

C．whoever; in possession of

D．no matter who; in the possession of

Answer 1

C

试题分析：考查whoever引导的宾语从句，做to的宾语，相当于anyone who凡是…的人，因为在宾语从句中做的是主语不能用whomever，第二空in possession of指“人拥有物”，in the possession of“物由人负责”，句意：我可以和公司的负责人说话吗？选C。
点评：疑问词+ever 可以引导状语从句，相当于no matter+疑问词，也可以引导名词性从句，whatever相当于Anything that，whoever相当于anyone who。所以首先判断这是什么从句在选用恰当的词。
