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

Answer 1

答案A

试题分析：考查独立主格结构，横线后面的 seated 不可视为谓语动词，因为seat 用作动词时，它总是及物的，其后要么接宾语，要么它就用于被动语态，所以若在 seated 前加上助动词 is，则可以选择B（当然若将 seated改为sat就应选择B）。所以此题最佳答案选A。
考点:考查独立主格结构
点评;此题很容易误选B，许多同学会认为句中逗号后是一个非限制性的定语从句，whose 在定语从句中用作定语修饰其后的名词 owner。此分析从表面上看，似乎天衣无缝，但实质上是错的，原因是空格后根本不是一个句子，因为没有谓语。尽管句中有两个动词，seated和playing但它们都是非谓语动词。
