Question

This is an ideal site for a university ______ it is far from The downtown area.

A．provided that

B．now that

C．so that

D．in that

Answer 1

D

邏輯關系題。此題考查連詞的用法。根據題干的兩個分句的語意，它們應為因果關系。[A]項 provided that意為“假使；倘若”，主句常用將來時態，與題干時態不符，應排除。B.項now that可用來引導原因狀語從句，主要用來說明一種新情況，與題于所要表示的語意不符。[C]項so that引導結果狀語從句，把題干的因果顛倒了，也應排除。D.項in that是書面語，表示原因，符合題意。
