that为什么不能指代many people,og188求教!

xuelin

188.    As a result of medical advances, many people that might at one time have died as children of such infections as diphtheria, pneumonia, or rheumatic fever now live well into old age.
(A) that might at one time have died as children
(B) who might once have died in childhood
(C) that as children might once have died
(D) who in childhood might have at one time died
(E) who, when they were children, might at one time have died
怎么看都觉得that指 many people是合理的呀,有人能帮我解释解释og的说法是什么意思吗,为什么用who就使主句和从句更一致呢??难道语法题中指人都不能用that吗?doubt中

excellent

OG解释：B, the best choice, uses the preferred relative pronoun, who, to refer to many people.

在GMAT中，指代人总用who，而不用that。

呵呵，不仅GMAT，正规英文中指人总是用who的。

janechen

grammatically speaking, you must use "who or whom" when refering people

Snazzy

agareed, 'who' refers to subject, while 'whom' refers to object

我有一个疑问，die of 可以这样拆开使用吗？

大家都好绝对哦。

wingkim

In fact,that can be the pronoun of a human in subordinate clause.But,we only remember to use who and whom in GMAT.

我也觉得在die of中间插入in childhood怪怪的.

请nn给讲讲

语法书上讲who 指代人，做主格，而that指代人或物，
此句中如果用that 那么 that 从句中就要补上主语. 不知道对吗？？？
