( ) the storm we should have arrived twenty minutes earlier for the meeting.


A、

In spite of


B、

Except for


C、

As a result of


D、

But for


【正确答案】:D
【题目解析】:

本题考查的是常见连词的词义辨析。
in spite of意为“尽管”;except for意为“除了”;as a result of意为“…的结果”;but for意为“要不是”。分析句意,如果没有“暴风雨”,则能够“早到20分钟” ,故C选项but for“要不是”符合题意。

句意:要不是有暴风雨,我们本能够早20分钟到达会议地点。
