Not far from the club, there was a garden, ____ owner seated in it playing bridge with his children every afternoon. A．whose B．its C．which D．that

Answer 1

B

试题分析：考查独立主格结构。句意：离俱乐部不远，有个花园，它的主人每天下午坐在里面和孩子们玩。此题关键在于后面的seated。owner和seat之间如果用在句中，必须是...owner was seated....但是题目单独使用seated，这表明后面部分并非一个句子。由此排除使用whose构成的非限制性定语从句A； which也只能理解成引导从句/句子，排除C； that如果引导从句，当然不对；如果只是简单做指示代词，修饰owner的话，则指代不明，无法和前面的a garden相对应。所以理解成its owner为独立主语，和后面的非谓语结构seated...一起构成独立主格结构，选B。
