为了提高参加AEAS考试的同学的英语水平，AEAS考试网特别为同学们带来一些考试技巧。这次介绍的是独立主格结构题型。

请看下面一道题：

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，但它们都是非谓语动词。也许有的同学认为，其中的 seated 可视为谓语动词，但是注意，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，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 sitting，也应选择B)。所以此题最佳答案选A。请再看一个类似的例子：

He wrote a lot of novels, many of _________ translated into foreign languages.

A. it B. them C. which D. that

He wrote a lot of novels, many of _________ were translated into foreign languages.

A. it B. them C. which D. that

第应选B，而不能选C，是因为句中的 translated 是过去分词，若选C，则该从句无谓语;第应选C，因为句中有谓语 were translated。再请看下面一例：

He wrote a lot of novels, and many of _________ were translated into foreign languages.

A. it B. them C. which D. that

【分析】此题与上面的第题不同，两句间多了一个并列连词and，说明这是一个并列句，故应选B，则不能选C。

请做做以下三题：

There I met several people, two of _________ being foreigners.

A. which B. them C. whom D. that

There I met several people, two of _________ were foreigners.

A. which B. whom C. who D. that

There I met several people, and two of _________ were foreigners.

A. which B. them C. whom D. that
