Question

A. of which     B. from where     

C. in which      D. from which

Answer

D

【解析】

试题分析：句意：在黑暗中我看见一个女人朝我跑过来，我还没有来得及认出她是谁，她已经从跑来的方向又跑回去了。这里短语come from中的from被提到了关系词前。which代替先行词direction 放在介词from之后，from which 相当于where。介词+定语从句的关系代词中的介词选择主要是看从句谓语动词和从句的关系词是怎样搭配的,多数是固定搭配。Eg. The farm where the girl lived is large.这里的连接词where可以换成at which,因为live和at搭配,也就是说the girl lived at the farm。由句意可知选D。

考点: 考查定语从句的用法。
