Q41. GWD-12-Q28:

Some scientists contend that many species of dinosaur had a metabolism more like a warm-blooded mammal’s than a cold-blooded reptile’s.

A.      that many species of dinosaur had a metabolism more like

B.      that the metabolism of many dinosaur species were more like

C.      that the metabolisms of many species of dinosaurs were more like those of

D.      there were many species of dinosaurs that had metabolisms more like those of

E.       there were many dinosaur species that had a metabolism more like that of

我选了C, 但答案是A, 请帮忙解答一下, 谢谢!

C 有两处错误，

1、在这里a warm-blooded mammal’s 等同于a warm-blooded mammal’s metabolism，而C中those指代前面的“the metabolisms”, 这样“those of a warm-blooded mammal’s ” 中metabolism意思重复，不对。而且those和a单复数也不统一。

2、than前后比较对象要对等。前面是“those of a warm-blooded mammal’s” ，而后面是“a cold-blooded reptile’s”，明显不对等。

those of 跟mammal’s reptile’s 重复。而且metabolism 觉得C选项不是迷惑选项，B是迷惑选项。
