Not far from the school there was a garden, _________ owner seated in it playing chess with his little grandson every afternoon. A. its B. whose C. which D. that为什么不用whose

Answer 1

A

因为后面seated 不是谓语， 是非谓语动词（过去分词）， 用its owner 和 seated in it playing chess with his little grandson every afternoon构成【独立主格结构】
比较：
Not far from the school there was a garden, 【whose】 owner 【was seated 】in it playing chess with his little grandson every afternoon.
