英语冠词问题，请老师指教？

1. Most of the representatives think that ______ the meeting was very successful。

A. on whole of B. on a whole C. on the whole D. on the whole that
为什么选D而不选C?两个that分别引导什么从句？请分析句子成分。
2. “How did you pay the workers?”

“As a rule, they are paid ______。”

A. by an your B. by the hour C. by a hour D. by hours

为什么选B而不选D?
谢谢老师

1. Most of the representatives think that ______ meeting was very successful.
如果题目是这样的，那么答案要选D。
第一个that为从属连词，引导宾语从句。
第二个that为指示代词，限定meeting。

Most of the representatives think that ______ the meeting was very successful.
如果题目是这样的，那么答案要选C。
此时，在宾语从句中，meeting已经有了定冠词的限定，可直接加上状语“on the whole”

2.by the hour为固定搭配：以小时计、按钟头；

by hours较少见，个别词典标示其意为：“几个小时的时间”，又为hours by hours。
