after _______seemed a long time,an iceberg was in sight in the distance.
a.it b.there c.what d.that
为什么选c 具体点
a.it b.there c.what d.that
为什么选c 具体点
After在这里引导时间状语，后面可接a long time，很自然，这点没问题；但怎样理解“what seemed”的用法？请看下面对一道填空题的评析：
After ___ seemed an endless wait, it was her turn to step into the doctor's office.
A. it B. that C. what D. which
选C。
【句意】在经过一段似乎是漫无边际的等候之后，终于轮到她走进医生的办公室。?
【难点】在由after引导的介词短语中，what seemed(to be)起定语作用，修饰an endless wait。又如：I saw what seemed to be a fox.（我看见一个似乎是狐狸的东西。）
这样的用法很常见，下面是节自奥威尔小说中一句：
At last, after what seemed a long time (it might have been five seconds, I dare say) he sagged flabbily to his knees.
主语从句缺成分补what
