as引导定语从句，指代主句一句话。由as, which 引导的非限定性定语从句，as和which可代整个主句，相当于and this或and that。as一般放在句首，which在句中。
As we know, smoking is harmful to one's health.
The sun heats the earth, which is very important to us.
as 和which在引导非限制性定语从句时，这两个关系代词都指主句所表达的整个意思，且在定语从句中都可以作主语和宾语。但不同之处主要有两点：
(1）as 引导的定语从句可置于句首，而which不可。
(2）as 代表前面的整个主句并在从句中作主语时，从句中的谓语必须是系动词；若为行为动词，则从句中的关系代词只能用which.。
(3）在本题中，prevent由于是行为动词，所以正确选项应为B。
1）Alice received an invitation from her boss, ___came as a surprise.
A. it
B. that
C. which
D. he
2）The weather turned out to be very good, ___ was more than we could expect.
