Question

April 23 is stated as World Book Day, an important date for literature around the world, _______ Shakespeare was born and died.

A．where

B．when

C．which

D．why

Answer 1

B

解析试题分析：考查定语从句。这是考查间隔开的定语从句，定语从句的先行词为an important date，定语从句中缺少时间状语，故选B。有些定语从句和先行词之间有一较长的后置定语或别的句子成分，我们称之为间隔性定语从句或分裂式定语从句。如： The film brought the hours back to me when I was taken good care of in that far away village. 此句中先行词the hours被一个副词back和一个介词短语to me隔开了。
