_______ why she wasted money on a lottery ticket, the poor mother answered, “ A dollar is not too much to pay for 24 hours of hope”.
A.AskingB.Having asked C.When askingD.When asked
D

试题分析:考查状语从句的省略。当状语从句的主语和主句的主语一致的时候,可以把状语从句的主语和be动词一起省略。本句在when和asked之间省略了she was。句意:当她被询问为什么她要在彩票上浪费如此多的钱的时候,这个可怜的妈妈说…。故D正确。
点评:当状语从句的主语与主句的主语一致,且状语从句中有系动词be的时候,可以把状语从句的主语和be动词一起省略。如果状语从句中有it is的时候,it is 也可以省略。
