关系代词as常后接连系动词

有读者问: 有这样一道选择题:

(1)The road was narrow, _____made it difficult to drive.

A. that B. which C. as D. this

这里为何只能选B而不能选C?

在关系代词as用作主语时,其动词一般用be或其他连系动词,如:

(2)She was late for school, as was usual with her.

(3)He has married again, as seemed natural.

上述两句中的as亦可代之以which(但as表为人所熟知的信息,which则表新的信息)。但关系代词which用作主语时,其后则可用行为动词,上述句(1)之所以须用which(后接行为动词made),其原因就在此。再如:

(4)He has married again, which delighted us.
