Question

What surprised me was not what he said but____he said it.
选项：A.the way B.in the way that C.in the way D.the way which

Answer 1

“使我吃惊的不是他说的什么而是他说话的方式”.the way （that）he said it中 （that）he said it作定语修辞the way .that和in which都可作宾语,再作宾语的情况下,只要that前没有介词,是可以互换和省略的.当that作主语时,不可以省略和互换.
关于定于从句中the way 的用法
the way直接加从句,省略连接词,如本题
the way in which 加从句
the way that加从句
所以选A
