  【C18】______, the Kalinago’s current leader, Chief Garnet Joseph, is exploring other options lor putting【C19】______directly into the hands of his people.

选项 A、what
B、that
C、who
D、when
答案 B
解析 主语从句题。句意为：很明显，如果越来越多的居民不愿留在卡里纳古，部落的未来将不被看好。分析该句的结构可知，It是形式主语，该句的真正主语足空格后面的部分。选项中的词均可引导名词性从句，但除了that之外，其他选项在从句中均充当一定的语法成分，并具有意义。但原句空格后的句子结构和意义都是完整的，所以选择that。that在句中引导的名词性从句作句子主语，只起到连接作川，不作任何句子成分，并无意义。
