英语语法题

-----Yes, those actors ____ to involve the audience.

B. whose function it was
请问为什么选B而A不对

Answer 1

答：感觉题目有问题。
搜索网络，发现可能是某初中题：
“Did the audience participate in the play?”
“Yes, those actors ____to involve the audience.”
A. whom it was the function　　 B. of whom the function was
C. whose function it was 　　　　D. whose were the function
本身还是有问题。
高一英语 定语从句
-Did the audience participate in the play?
-Yes,the actors ______ to involve the audience were successful.
A.whom it was the function　　 B.of which the function was
C.whose function it was 　　　 　 D.whose were the function
到了高中，好多了。those改为the, 有限制性定语从句的名词前用the,不用指示代词。
关键是，句子有了谓语：were successful!
B项的of which之which不知道是不是笔误。AD明显不对。B项如是which也排除，只有C。
句法分析：the actors were successful. 是主句。定语从句还原：it was their( =the actors' ) function( 用词不当？是不是用duty更好些）to involve the audience
译：观众参与到了那场戏里了吗？
是的。那些负责鼓动观众参与的男演员们做得非常成功。
PS：这是谁想出来的“妙”句啊？什么语境？什么生活原型？

Answer 2

演员和职务是所属关系，不用表示非所属关系的of，所以选B而不选A
