Born in Lagos, Nigeria, she received her education in Europe, 12 she got an opportunity to interact with various cultures at a young age.
答案:(A) where
【關係副詞】where 引導形容詞子句,代替地點(Europe),表示「在歐洲,她因而有機會……」。there 為副詞不可引導子句;that 通常不用於非限定用法的地點子句;whether 表「是否」,語意不合。
看到逗號後面要填一個字,你可能會先想「這裡需要一個連接詞或轉承語」,於是 that 或 whether 看起來都有機會。這一題的重點其實不在語意,而在空格前面站的是什麼。
規則只有一句話:wh- 詞前面接的是名詞,它就是回頭補充說明那個名詞的關係子句。空格前面是 in Europe 的 Europe,是地點名詞;空格後面 she got an opportunity to interact with various cultures at a young age 是一個成分完整的子句。地點名詞加上成分已滿的子句,要的是關係副詞 where(非限定用法,前面用逗號隔開)。還原成兩句話驗算:She received her education in Europe, and in Europe she got an opportunity to interact with various cultures. where 等於 and there,也可以換成 in which。這一題本身不難,鑑別度 39,分的是有沒有先確認逗號後面已經是一個完整的子句。
there 是副詞,不能引導子句;兩個完整的子句中間只有一個逗號、沒有連接詞,會變成逗號黏接的病句。that 是關係代名詞,一定要在子句裡占一個位置(當主詞或受詞),但 she got an opportunity… 的成分已經滿了,沒有位置給它;而且 that 不用在逗號後的非限定用法。whether 是「是否」,帶出的是兩種不確定的可能,與「她在那裡得到機會」接不起來。
where 引導非限定關係子句(等於 and there)、receive one's education(接受教育)、interact with(與…互動)、at a young age(在年幼時)、be born in(出生於)、one of the best-known + 複數名詞(最知名的…之一)
