答案解析
正确答案:A
解析:
这是一道完形填空题,我们需要根据上下文语境和语法结构来分析第10空的正确选项。
**题目分析:**
句子为:“____10____ happens, I know we’ll have to leave in the end.”
意思是:“无论发生什么,我知道我们最终都得离开。”
**选项辨析:**
* **A. Whatever**: 意为“无论什么”、“不管什么事”。它在从句中通常作主语或宾语。
* 在本句中,`happens` 是谓语动词,缺少主语。`Whatever happens` 是一个固定的让步状语从句结构,意为“无论发生什么情况”,符合句意和语法要求。
* **B. However**: 意为“无论如何”、“不管怎样”。它通常修饰形容词或副词(如 however hard you try),或者作为连接副词表示转折。如果要用 however 引导让步状语从句且后面接动词 happen,结构通常是不成立的,或者需要调整为 `However things happen`(但这里 things 缺失)。单独用 `However happens` 不符合语法习惯,因为 however 不能直接作 `happens` 的主语。
* **C. Whoever**: 意为“无论谁”。它在从句中作主语时,指代人。
* 虽然语法上 `Whoever happens` 看似主谓结构完整,但从语义上讲,“发生”(happen)这个动作的主体通常是“事情”或“情况”,而不是“人”。我们不说“无论谁发生”,而是说“无论发生什么事”。因此语义不通。
**结论:**
根据句意“无论发生什么情况”,以及语法上需要一个能作 `happens` 主语且指代事物的词,**Whatever** 是唯一正确的选择。
故正确答案为 **A**。
