。长难句解析
When the engagement was for home1, some of the officers2 always made3 part of it, of which officers Mr. Wickham was sure to be one4; and on these occasions, Mrs. Gardiner5, rendered suspicious by Elizabeth's warm commendation of him, narrowly observed6 them both7.
解:1时间状语从句+2主语+3谓语+4定语从句+5主语+6谓语+7宾语
析:①定语从句:of which officers Mr. Wickham was sure to be one
该从句由“of which”引导,关系代词which作介词of的宾语,which不可省略且不能用that来代替,该从句修饰先行词some of the officers
。②过去分词短语“rendered suspicious by Elizabeth's warm commendation of him”作后置定语修饰Mrs. Gardiner
