2．But they betray themselves every_time they open their mouths. every time 等表示时间的短语可作为连词用，，the instant, the moment, directly, the day, the year, next time, the first (second, third...) time 等。

Das the same; as
答案：B
解析：考查复合句。语意：布莱克夫人把警察带到她目击抢劫案发生的那个地方。“where she witnessed the robbery”是定语从句，修饰先行词place, where在从句中作状语。由于定语从句是一个完整的句子，因此需要使用关系副词，而不是关系代词，由此可排除其余选项。
