請看下面一道題：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

    「分析」此題很容易誤選B ，許多同學會認為句中逗號后是一個非限制性的
定語從句，whose 在定語從句中用作定語修飾其后的名詞 owner. 此分析從表面
上看，似乎天衣無縫，但實質上是錯的，原因是空格后根本不是一個句子，因為
沒有謂語。盡管句中有兩個動詞，但它們都是非謂語動詞。也許有的同學認為，
其中的 seated 可視為謂語動詞，但是注意，seat用作動詞時，它總是及物的，
其后要么接賓語，要么它就用于被動語態(tài)，所以若在 seated 前加上助動詞 is ，
則可以選擇B （當然若將 seated （當然若將 seated sitting ，也應選擇B ）。

    所以此題最佳答案選A.請再看一個類似的例子：（1 ） He wrote a lot of
novels，many of _________ translated into foreign languages.

    A. it B. them C. this D. that

    （2 ） He wrote a lot of novels ， many of _________ were translated
into foreign languages.A. it B. them C. which D. that

    第（1 ）應選B ，而不能選C ，是因為句中的 translated 是過去分詞（非
謂語動詞），若選C ，則該從句無謂語；第（2 ）應選C ，因為句中有謂語 were
translatedC.

    再請看下面一例：（3 ） He wrote a lot of novels ， and many of _________
were translated into foreign languages. A. it B. them C. which D. that
「分析」此題與上面的第（2 ）題不同，兩句間多了一個并列連詞and ，說明這
是一個并列句，故應選B ，則不能選C.

    請做做以下三題（答案均為B ）：

    （1 ） There I met several people ， two of _________ being foreigners.
A. which B. them C. whom D. that

    （2 ） There I met several people ， two of _________ were foreigners.
A. which B. whom C. who D. that

    （3 ） There I met several people ， and two of _________ were foreigners.
A. which B. them C. whom D. that
