一道高中英语单选题,不要草率
如题：the waiter in that restaurant always give the vacant seats to____comes first.选项A:someone B:whoever C:who D:whomever 此题的答案为B.请问为什么是B,而不选择D.照理说在to后面就应该作宾语啊,所以我当初觉得应该选D答案!但是我错了!

Answer 1

1.此题的关键是要弄清楚whoever/whomever引导的宾语从句（做介词to的宾语）中,whoever/whomever所充当的成分的区别.
2.该题的whoever = anybody who；whomever = anybody whom.
即该题可以变化成为：
The waiter in that restaurant always give the vacant seats to (whoever/whomever) comes first.
= The waiter in that restaurant always give the vacant seats to (anybody who/whom) comes first.
= The waiter in that restaurant always give the vacant seats to anybody (who/whom comes first).
3.该问题也就转变成为who/whom在修饰先行词anybody的定语从句中所做成分的区别了.
很明显,该关系代词 = 先行词anybody,在定语从句中做 ____ comes first的主语.
既然是主语,当然用主格形式who.
所以相对应的anybody who = whoever.
