题目

At the end of the Thailand tour,everyday in the group seemed to be attactred by these elephants as all of (them) rushed to purchase elephant toys.
里面的那个空,为什么是填them?不可以是whom.这里不是一个句子吗?不是everyone作主语吗?假如填them不是两个主语吗?

答案

as此处翻译为“因为”,是连词,连接前后两个句子.后面加句子必须是一个完整的句子,此处本因需要用they做后面句子的主语,却因为of后需接宾格,所以用them.而且,who和whom一般用于从句中,此处是两个完整的句子,不是从句.
