(2020年湖南)A. what B. that C. how D. which【简析】 本题考查what引导宾语从句的用法。动词recognize 后面要接宾语，所以后面的从句一定是宾语从句。what是一个形容词，在宾语从句中作定语，修饰中心词名词mistakes；that引导宾语从句时，不作句子成分；how是副词，修饰形容词或副词，这里后面有名词，所以不能用；which表示从所提供的对象中选择，句子没有可供选择的对象，故排除。这里选A最合适。（2） The shopkeeper did not want to sell for_he thought was not enough. （2020年山东）A. where B. how C. what D. which【简析】 本题考查what引导介词宾语从句的用法。where引导宾语从句时，在句子中作地点状语；how 引导宾语从句时，在句子中作方式状语；宾语从句缺少主语，所以排除A和B；which表示从所提供的对象中选择，在本句中不合适。根据句子语境，答案选C。练习: George Washington was born in _ is now the state of Virginia.= George Washington was born in the place _ is now the state of Virginia.A. which B. where C. that D. what Pudong Development Zone is no longer a rural area _ it used to be.Pudong Development Zone is no longer _ it used to be.A. what B. where C. that D. there当堂检测：1._ fashion differs from country to country may reflect a cultural difference from one aspect.A.
