Question

11.He spoke with more eagerness ______ is appropriate on such occasions.( ) A.than that B.than
11.He spoke with more eagerness ______ is appropriate on such occasions.( )
A.than that B.than what
C.than D.other than
请问这道题的正确答案为什么是C,而不是B呢?
than有做为直接的代词用法么?还有相关的例句么?

Answer 1

引用"than可以作为关系代词,经常出现在带形容词比较级的先行词后."
我理解这里eagerness是先行词,than本身就包含了eagerness的意思.
如：You spent more money than was intended to be spent.句中than和本题类似指代了money.
