(单选题)

When hearing the news ______ her son was dead on the battle, the mother burst into tears and then fell ill.

A.which

B.what

C.that

D.who

参考答案：C

参考解析：

考查that引导的同位语从句。句意：当听到儿子阵亡的消息时，母亲哭了起来，然后病倒了。分析句子结构可知，______ her son was dead on the battle为同位语从句，her son was dead on the battle解释说明news的具体内容，从句成分完整，不缺少句意，应选用连接词that。故选C。
