Question

Jose cupped his hands together to cover his mouth ________ other people would see him cry.

A. so that                      B. now that                   C. for fear that            D. on condition that

Answer

C

【解析】

试题分析：因为担心别人看见他在哭，Jose用手捂着嘴。so that引导目的状语从句。now that引导原因状语从句，原因先于结果发生。for fear that也引导原因状语从句，表示“做某事”的理由是出于担心，担心的事情可能发生也可能不发生，但一定在“做某事”之后。可替换为in case. on condition that引导条件状语从句。故C项正确。

考点：状语从句。
