Question

高手级别的题，不会吧？竟然不选它？！~。。。。。。

There was a big garden,_____ owner seated in it and played bridge with his children.
A.whose
B.its
C.which
D.that

请问这个题选A吗？（据说不选A哦？！不过当然也是据说了！~）

Answer 1

这个容易让人误解为是定语从句，其实，不然

There was a big garden, (its) owner seated in it and played bridge with his children.
有一个大花园，其主人坐在里面与孩子们在打桥牌。

不过后面应该用playing为好
its owner seated这是一个独立主格结构，相当于the owner of the garden was seated in it and was playing bridge with his children.
正因为不是定语从句，因此不用whose来引导，不知这样解释能不能让你明白
逗号后面接的不是句子，因此不用连词，而用代词its

Answer 2

这道题就是选A的.意思上:"花园的物主"
如果选C或D,那么owner前面就没有了冠词,很突兀,很奇怪.
如果是C或D的话,应为:There was a big garden,which its owner seated in it and played bridge with his children.

Answer 3

用排除法来倒推吧。

如果选B， There was a big garden,__its___ owner seated in it and played bridge with his children.
于是成了两句话，故中间缺少连词，故B不对。

如果选C， which 为关系代词的非限定性定语从句应该将介词提前。故应为，There was a big garden, in which (the/its) owner seated and played bridge with his children. 故C不对。

如果选D，that不能引导非限定语从句，理解其为代词，故原因同B，两个分句间没有连词。 所以也排除

故只有A是对的，whose连同owner一起修饰 garden. 否则就没有正确答案。

Answer 4

A和B都对！都是指花园。

Answer 5

C和D最有可能.

但是我感觉选C.
