(C) Based on the growth rates of large modern reptiles like

(D) On the basis of growth rates of large modern reptiles, like those of（B）

那位能帮忙解释一下 “Based on” 与 “On the basis of” 的用法区别？尤其是“Based on”

 basED on... 而主句主语是人，人怎么能被based on 呢？逻辑关系错。basing on

还说得过去。

on the basis of 就没有逻辑歧义。

according to.... sb.... ------>right

based on .... sb...------->wrong

最简单的方法就是把主句主语还原到短语前面，现在分词短语用主动语态，过去分词短语用被动语态，看看

逻辑意思是不是合理。
