此题很容易误选A,许多同学想当然地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,因为它没有谓语.尽管句中有两个动词.此分析从表面上看,似乎天衣无缝,但实质上是错的（seated 和 playing）,但它们都是非谓语动词.也许有的同学会问,其中的 seated 不可用作谓语动词吗?不能.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A（当然若将 seated 改为 seated sitting,也应选择A）.所以此题最佳答案选D.
