Please help me understand this sentence, thanks!
James [always sits on his] ( sits / always / his / on) own at lunchtime because he likes to read the newspaper.
-----------------------------------------------------
sit on one's own = sit on his own seat, right?

In addition, I don't understand why use 'because' to link this sentence? Is there any possible link between 'sitting seat' and 'reading newspaper'?

Answer

This sentence refers to 'sitting alone'. James always sits on his own = James always sits alone. Because is the reason he sits alone, in this case to read the newspaper so no one will bother or talk to him.

Very good question.
