教师招聘英语知识点：定语从句与强调句陷阱题详解（语法知识）六

On Sundays there were a lot of children playing in the park, _________ parents seated together joking.

A. their B. whose C. which D. that

【陷阱】容易误选B，认为这是非限制性定语从句。

【分析】最佳答案是A。与上面一题相似，their parents seated together joking 不是非限制性定语从句，而是一个独立主格结构，因为空格后的动词 seated 不是谓语，而是一个过去分词，因为 seat 作动词用时，是及物动词。比较以下相似题：

(1) On Sundays there were a lot of children playing in the park, _________ parents were seated together joking.

A. their B. whose C. which D. that

选B。whose parents were seated together joking 为非限制性定语从句，因为其后有完整的谓语 were seated。

(2) On Sundays there were a lot of children playing in the park, and _________ parents were seated together joking. A. their B. whose C. which D. that

选A。因为句中有并列连词and，整个句子为并列句。更多真题及资料请加小编微信65210638领取
