本句中的主句为“The first doll was invented in 1830”，“that could say …mama‟”为定语从句，修饰主句中的名词(主语)“the first doll”。

2) C为正确答案。

3) A错。

during是介词，它后面的关系代词只能用which(指人除外)，which在此处指代“the period”，定语从句为“during which people…iron”，修饰主句的主语“the period”。

4) C为正确答案。

5) C为正确答案。

6) B错。

改用who，which只能指物，指人时应用who，本句的定语从句修饰the person，关系代词who在从句中作主语。

本句也可改用that，因为that也可用来指人，它可在从句中作主语或宾语，但which则只能指“物”。

7) B错。

应改用who，因为这里所指代的是“human beings”，而且在从句中作主语，而whom只能用来作宾语。

8) B为正确答案。

空白后是一个定语从句，从句中主谓宾齐全，关系副词where指代上面表示地点的名词region(地方，地区)，相当于in which，即in the region，在从句中作地点状语。

9) B对。

空白后为定语从句，从句中的主谓宾语都已齐全，where作从句中的地点状语，相当于in the joint，整个从句修饰“the joint”。

10) C错。

改为which或that。

这里是一个定语从句，修饰前面的the territory(区域)，虽然被修饰成分表示一个地点，但若用where代替in the territory在从句中作地点状语，从句中便没有了主语，这显然不对。

改用which后，便可由它作从句中的主语，代the territory；从句中的it代上文中的a central city。

11) B为正确答案。

12) C为正确答案。

13) A为正确答案。

14) D为正确答案。

这里whose修饰名词短语“open mouth，” 这时“whose open mouth”一起作介词“of”的宾语。

15) B错。

who应当在定语从句中作主语，而从句中已有主语style of playing(演奏风格)，故应将who改为whose，用whose修饰style，指代上文中的人名，相当于his。

16) B为正确答案。

17) A对。

空白处是which引导的定语从句修饰主句的主语ligaments，which作从句的主语，主句的主语(ligaments)和谓语(hold)被定语从句所隔开。

18) A对。

本句是关系代词who引导的非限定性定语从句，who指代前面的被修饰成分President Franklin D. Roosevelt并在从句中作主语。

19) C错。

应改用whose，修饰从句中的主语works，whose相当于his。

20) A错。

本句已有谓语动词is，而后面又出现动词has，显然不合语法，故应在snake和has 之间加上关系代词which或that构成定语从句修饰snake，which作从句的主语。

21) D错。

本句“in which”中的which指代“social contexts”，which在从句中已经是介词in 的宾语，这样从句中便没有了主语，故应在which后加代词it(代silence)，即变为“in which it tends…”，用it作从句的主语，这样句子才完整。
