A thief who broke into a church was caught because traces of wax, found on his clothes, ______ from the sort of candles used only in churches.
A. had come B. coming C. came D. that come
请问：应该选什么？ 应该如何剖析句子成分？ 整句如何翻译？ 谢谢！
选A。
who broke into a church 是主语A thief的定语从句。
because traces of wax…. 是缘由状语从句。
缘由状语从句的谓语就是大家要填的选项。
“found on his clothes”前后都有逗号，是过去分词短语做wax的后置定语（实质是which was found on his clothes变来的）。
from the sort of candles used only in churches是缘由状语从句中的状语。
“used only in churches”过去分词短语做the sort of candles的后置定语。
既然要填的是缘由状语从句的谓语，就要有时态语态，排除B、D。结合全句，这个动作肯定是发生在主句谓语was caught“被抓”之前，应该选A。
参考译文：
强行闯入教堂行窃的小偷被逮住了，由于在他身上发现的蜡迹是来自教堂专用蜡烛的。
