答案

英语专八水平为您解答.
您第一个问题：两个词组区别不大.
这涉及名词属格与of-词组的用法,二者在意义与用法上有很多相通之处,都可表示所有关系,a brother of my mother等于my mother's brother,后面的a brother of my mother's等于one of my mother's brothers.
第二个问题选A.
这里的独立属格在of-词组中作介词补足成分,这一题考察的是双重属格.
of-词组和双重属格有时可交替使用,其意义有区别,给你一个简单的例子：
He is a friend of my father's.相当于He is one of my friend's friends.
He is a friend of my father.相当于 He is friendly to my father.
两句的区别很明显了吧.
