The city failed to look after its schools,_________ it spent over $ 1 billion on its museums and stadiums.
A． now that
B． whereas
C． because
D． as long as
正确答案：B
本题考查连词的用法nowthat(既然由于)一般用于句首用在句中时与前句不以逗号隔开；because表原因一般也用于句首；aslongas意为“只要”；whereas表示转折有“但是却”的意思题干的意思是：“这座城市无力照顾开办的学校却把十几亿的资金花在开办博物馆和运动场上”
