Question

Three minutes later, more than ten policemen turned up at the spot　　　the accident happened.

A. whichB. whatC. whereD. that

Answer

C

【解析】选C。考查定语从句。分析句子成分可知, 此处spot应为先行词, 使用where引导定语从句, where在从句中作状语, 表示地点。

【知识拓展】模糊先行词后的定语从句

①当先行词为case, condition, situation, position, point, stage, circumstance, play, job, work, scene, spot, activity, process等名词时, 若在从句中充当状语成分, 可用where引导; 若作主语、宾语等成分, 可用that/which引导定语从句。

②occasion, point, stage等名词表示时间节点的时候, 其后的定语从句可用when引导, 在从句中作时间状语。
