A.what B.that C.when D.as 析：答案为B。that has been put forward为information的修饰性定语，且information在从句中作主语，所以该句为定语从句。 例2：She heard a terrible noise,_ brought her heart into her mouth.(MET91) A.it B.which C.this D.that 析：答案为B。分析语境含义、句子结构和句子成分可知，该句为非限制性定语从句，先行词为a terrible noise，且它在从句中作主语。应将该句区别于： I cant stand the terrible noise _ she is crying loudly. A.it B.which C.this D.that 析：答案为D。she is crying loudly是the terrible noise的内容，且the terrible noise不在从句中作成分，所以该句为同位语从句。 Period 5 The True NorthFrom Toronto To Montreal Step 1.
