问题描述：
the owner and captain refused to leave___ship which was sinking.his为什么不用the
答
这个考题的考点比较奇怪,首先这是一个定语从句.
which was sinking是定语从句,在从句中,was sinking是谓语动词,缺少主语,所以which是连接代词,是主语,代替前面的____ship.
所以把___ship带进从句中,①.his ship was sinking ②.the ship was sinking
翻译的意思就是：①.（那艘船的）主人和船长（既是主人又是船长）不肯离开他的那艘正在沉没的船.
②.（那艘船的）主人和船长不肯离开那艘正在沉没的船.
显然,前面的owner是解题的关键,从语法和语意看,his和the都是可以的,但是考虑到owner（主人）,表示所属关系的his更加适合.
