請看下面一道題:When you read the book, you’d better make a mark _________ you have any questions.
A. at which???????????????? B. at where???????????? C. the place where???????? D. where

【分析】此題正確答案選D,where 在此意為“在……的地方”,用以引導地點狀語從句,全句意為“當你讀這本書時,你最好在有問題的地方作一個記號”。但是有的同學卻根據(jù)試題所提供的選項想當然認為這是一道考查定語從句關(guān)系詞的選擇與辨析的試題,于是在A、B、C三項中絞盡腦汁,當然最終不可能得出正確答案。請做以下試題,看看是考查定語從句還是狀語從句:
