Answer 1

【答案】

 accident / chance

 Wandering

 unbelievable  

  when

 contrary       

  which / that     

  because     

  whether / if 

【解析】

试题分析：

 accident / chance 固定搭配by accident偶然，偶尔；

  Wandering    本句中的动词wander与句子主语he之间构成主动关系，所以使用现在分词doing在句中作伴随状语。

 unbelievable 本句中的形容词unbelievable修饰前面的不定代词something，指一些令人难以相信的事情。

 when      本句中的连词when引导时间状语从句，修饰整个句子。

 contrary   固定搭配on the contrary恰恰相反。

 which / that  本句是一个定语从句，which/that指代先行词在句中作为动词open的宾语。

  because  上下文串联。因为他衣着褴褛，使服务员对他很不礼貌。上下文之间是因果关系，故使用because.

  whether / if 本句是一个宾语从句，因为前面有动词doubt说明怀疑的是不确定的事情。
