A. not use

B. were no use

C. had no use

D. it was not used

答案：C.标黄部分为主语，标绿部分为谓语，标蓝部分为宾语，空格前有从句引导词that，空格处显然缺从句谓语部分。A中use作动词或名词都有语法错误，B若改为were of no use则可入选，D中多主语it，故三个选项都可排除。C符合各项条件，故选C。

A. whether the federal government

B. either the federal government

C. that the federal government

答案：A.由信号词or可知句中要么用whether…or…结构, 要么用either…or…结构，由此首先排除CD选项。either…or…是并列连词，不能引导从句，whether…or…是从属连词，可以引导从句，故正确答案是A。
