When the police found there was a large crowd in front of the cinema they stopped their car to see _______A. what the matter was B. what was the matter請說明理由

選B。在What is the matter?這個獨立的句子中，what本身就是主語，is the matter是系表結構，作謂語，句子本身是正常結構。這如同：what is wrong?發生什么事了/出什么毛病了？what is up?什么事？what happened?發生什么事了所以，選B。

A.獨立的句子中，為表示疑問，須使用倒裝，把動詞was和賓語the matter交換位置，所以問句為：What was the matter?這個地方，并不是一個獨立的句子，它只是東西"see"的賓語，所以使用正常語序。
