as与which均可替代整个主句

A. which

C. what
D. that
空格设置在名词school后, 且school后有逗号, 此题考查非限定性定语从句。定语从句所修饰的先行词是school, 它在定于从句中做主语, 因此使用关系代词, 选项中的关系代词只有which和that, 由于是非限定性定语从句, 不能使用that, 因此选择A。
〖2010四川〗After graduating from college, I took some time off to go travelling,

A. that
B. which

D. where
此处应为which引导的非限制性定语从句, which代替前边整个句子。句意为：“大学毕业后, 我们休假一段时间去旅游, 这结果证明是一个明智的决定。”
