   ◆典型陷阱题分析◆
    1. The factory was built in a secret place, around ______ high mountains.
    A. which was               B. it was      C. which were              D. them were
    【陷阱】容易误选A或B,将A、B中的 which 和 it 误认为是其后句子的主语。
    【分析】最佳答案是C,around which were high mountains 是一个由“介词+which”引出的非限制性定语从句,而在该从句中,主语是 high mountains,around which 是表语,所以句子谓语应用复数were,而不是用单数 was.请做以下类例题目(答案均为C):
