【答案與解析】

1.【答案】(Ａ)，關係代名詞的所有格，whose表示「這家公司的」主要業務，是製造與銷售馬桶。

2.【答案】(Ａ)，過去完成進行式，表達過去那一段時間內，持續一直發生的事情。Over the past two weeks=在過去的兩個禮拜中。「在過去兩個禮拜中一直困擾著房客的問題。」Landlord=房東；tenant=房客。

3.【答案】(Ｄ)，「銀行本來習慣用美金交易，但由於顧客要求，後來也開始接受歐元。」

be accustomed to + V-ing --> 習慣。

「本來習慣用美金交易」是先發生的事情，所以用過去完成式；「開始接受歐元」是過去簡單式，表示後來才發生的。

due to client demand=由於顧客的要求。

but是對等連接詞，共用主詞the bank，連接兩個動詞片語：had been accustomed to~ 跟began accepting~。
