Question

I was told that there were about 50 foreign students _______ Chinese in the school, most of _______ were from Germany.

A.study…them B.study…whom C.studying…them D.studying…whom

Answer

D

【解析】

考查非谓语动词及定语从句。句意：我听说学校有大约50名外国留学生在学中文，大部分来自德国。分析句子可知，句中已有动词were，故第一个设空处应用非谓语，且study和50 foreign students之间是主动关系，故填studying；第二个设空处是一个非限制性定语从句，先行词是50 foreign students是人，在定语从句中做of的宾语，故用whom来引导。结合选项，故选D。
