9.Baker was perhaps not the most gifted soloist in the orchestra, but the conductor felt what was lacking in his technical skill was more than made up by the passion with which he played the music. (A) what was lacking in his technical skill was more than made up by (B) what he lacked in technical skill was more than made up by (C) whatever was lacking in his technical skill was more than made up by (D) whatever he lacked in technical skill was more than made up for by (E) whatever he lacked in technical skill he more than made up by ans:B 为什么不选D, make up for是弥补的意思，make up为化妆, B中made up by……是什么意思？

以下是引用lizaz在2003-12-6 22:48:00的发言： what 不表示 Baker啊，what was lacking in his technical skill 指他技艺上缺乏的，只是what引导的名词性从句，what引导的内容是后面的was lacking in his technical skill，而不是Baker
我的表达可能不清晰，我的意思不是说 what 表示 Baker，而是说 用 what 从句表明作者认为Baker 是有不足的； 用 whatever 从句表明Baker 可能有不足，也可能没有不足
