Question

Tom raised his hands      to say something, but he remained silent in the end.

A．even if

B．as if

C．so that

D．now that

Answer 1

B

本題考查狀語從句。此舉是省略句，補充完整應是Tom raised his hands as if (he was going) to say something. 句意：湯姆舉起手好像要說什么。如果as if 引導的從句是“主語+系動詞”結構，可省略主語和系動詞，這樣as if 后就只剩下名詞、不定式、形容詞(短語)、介詞短語或分詞。
