问题补充：

.The detective, to read a newspaper, glanced at the man next to a woman.

A. pretending ; seating

B. pretending; seated

C. pretended ; seating

D. pretended ; seated

答案：

A. pretending ; seating

(答案→)B. pretending; seated

C. pretended ; seating

D. pretended ; seated

解析：考查非谓语动词。句子的谓语动词是glanced at，两个逗号之间是非谓语动词，逻辑主语是The detective，和pretend是主谓关系，故用主动形式，排除C、D；seated“坐着的”，表示状态，相当于sitting。故选B。
