A.however 
B.whichever 
C.whatever 
D.wherever

参考答案:C进入在线模考
【译文】政府承诺竭尽所能减轻洪灾地区的灾民所遭受的灾害。
【解析】wh-名词性关系分句。这句话里需要一个关系代词引导动词d0的宾语从句,并在从句中充当主语成分.四个选项中只有whichever和whatever能引导名词性关系分句,但whichever一词强调“多个选择中的任何一个”,而这句话里并没有选择的含义。而whatever相当于anything that,即相当于带有关系分句作后置修饰语的名词词组,如:I'll do whatever(anything that)you ask me to d0.(我会做你要我做的任何事。)符合题意。however用于引导方式状语从句,wherever引导地点状语从句,皆不合题意。
