- He was deprived of
- That he was deprived of
- Although he was deprived of

答案：D
解析：语法题。此处考查的是非谓语动词的过去分词做状语，过去分词做状语，句子的主语与分词所表示的动作构成动宾关系，即是该分词动作的承受者，在这个句中，deprive与主语Thomas Edison之间是动宾关系，这个句子就相当于一个原因状语从句，相当于because he was deprived of the financial means to remain independent．故正确答案为D。句意：由于没有足够的资金保持独立，托马斯·爱迪生被迫成为了一名夜间电报员。
