Question

The policeman asked ____ with the old woman.
A. what the matter was B.  what was the matter
C. what matter was  D what was the wrong

Answer 1

B

试题分析：考查宾语从句。在所有的名词性从句中都要使用陈述语序，what is the matter?在该句中what就是主语，was matter是系表结构。因为前面使用了asked说明这里使用一般过去时。故B正确。
点评：名词性从句的考查集中在引导词的选择上，连接词that, whether, if在句中不充当任何成分，只起连接作用；连接代词who(ever), which(ever), whom(ever),whose(ever),what(ever)在句中做主语，宾语，表语和定语；连接副词when, why, where, how，在句中做状语。同时还要注意时态的呼应。
