_____ climber gets to the top first will get a $5000 prize.A.whichever B.whenever
参考答案:答案是A
从语法上来说,whenever后面不能直接跟climber,一定要有定冠词修饰climber,因为climber will get a $5000 prize是主句,gets to the top first 是修饰climber的,可以不要.所以从主句来看的话,就少了定冠词,,比如the.
而whichever+climber构成主语,所以可以不用the 之类的词
从翻译上来说
whichever climber gets to the top first will get a $5000 prize 的意思是任何一个首先爬上顶峰的登山者可以拿到5000dollar的奖励,
而whenver climber gets to the top first will get a $5000 prize的意思是无论何时,首先爬上顶峰的登山者可以拿到5000dollar的奖励.
