Answer 1

非谓语选择题。The sale usually takes place outside the house，with the audience （ ）on benches. B.seating
D.seated
答案是D，为什么不是B呢？这里不是主动吗？为什么要用过去分词呢？
答：本题主要考查seat的用法，注意与sit的对比。
sit是不及物动词，表示“坐”这个相对静态的动作如：He is sitting on the bench.
而seat是一个及物动词，意为“使某人（或本人）坐下来”： seat sb/oneself on the bench. 如：He seated his son on the bench.
He seated himself on the bench. 相当于 He was sitting on the bench.
