英文 its vs. whose - 考試

※ 引述《suscym (DoDreamEr)》之銘言：
: . They own an original Picasso painting, ____ value is inestimable.
: (1) its (2) whose (3) which (4) how much
如果可以的話，我會請同學把簡單的句子先看懂，而什麼叫作簡單的句子？
英文有五大句型，而每一個句型都是S+V，先不管有S+V+O...S+V+O+O…等等等，這些
就只要先看得懂什麼叫簡單句S+V開頭的句子，

S+V就可以構成一個句子，所以這一題可以先拆成
句1. They own an original Picasso painting. (他們擁有一幅畢卡索真跡)
　　 ｓ＋　ｖ
　　　
句2. The value of Picasso painting is inestimable.(畢卡索畫的價值是不能估計的）
　 　　　　　　　ｓ　　　　　　＋　ｖ

而二句話要變成一句話時，就需要連接詞，所以可以變成(三種變法)
新句1. They own an original Picasso painting, and its value is inestimable.
^^^連接詞
新句2. They own an original Picasso painting, whose value is inestimable.
^^^^^關代(=連接詞+代名詞)
新句3. They own an original Picasso painting; its value is inestimable.
^^分號視同連接詞and


: 正確答案為(2) whose
: 已知可以排除(4), 而(3) which 後要接V 也去除 // ex: which is inestimable.
: 我的困惑是在(1) 為何不行？感覺也挺順的
: 之前也有看過類似題目
: Not far from the school there was a small house, ____ owner seated in it
reading story book with his children every evening.
: (A):whose (B): its

: 正確答案卻是(B)

這一題非形容詞子句，所以不選關代，所以不會有whose的答案
但可以改成

新句1 Not far from the school there was a small house, and its owner seated in
it reading story books with his children every evening.

*, and --->前面一句話+後面一句話要有連接詞，所以用, and its.....

新句2 Not far from the school there was a small house; its owner seated
in it reading story books with his children every evening.

*分號視同為連接詞and

所以原po的答案有少打到字，少了and或 沒有打到 ; (分號)


: 所以這讓我有點困惑 揪竟要如何判斷呢?
