What surprised me was not what he said but he said it

What surprised me was not what he said but          he said it

A.the way

B.in the way that

C.in the way

D.the way which

答案及解析： A

解析：

试题

分析：句意，让我吃惊的不是他说了什么而是他说话的方式。首先分析句子结构，实际上but之后是一个定语从句，在the way (that/in which)he said it 结构中，that起关系副词的作用，相当于in which 指代先行词way在定语从句中作方式状语，故选A。考点：定语从句考查题。

点评：做这类题时，要正确识别出定语从句。注意：先行词way表示“方式，方法”时，关系副词常常省略。
