The reason being late for the meeting was his little son fell ill this morning.

A. for, that

B. why, that

C. for, because

D. why, because

答案：

(答案→)A. for, that

B. why, that

C. for, because

D. why, because

解析：考查介词用法和表语从句，the reason与介词for连用，for后面接动名词的形式。第二空是由that引导的表语从句，句意：他会议迟到的原因是他的小儿子今天上午突然生病了。故A正确。注意没有The reason is because…的句式。
