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

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

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

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

4. there were many species of dinosaurs that had metabolisms more like those of
5. there were many dinosaur species that had a metabolism more like that of

我选A,答案是B. 我觉得B的were不对，metabolism是单数的。请教！

（search过了，没找到相关讨论）

A. a of b 结构， 中心词是a. species 复数

B.我也不知道，请教， 难道是 metalbolism of many dinosaur 使一部分修饰species.所以用were?

A.many species of dinosaur 和a warm-blooded mammal’s (metabolism), a cold-blooded reptile’s(metabolism), 从结构上来说, 不具有所有格的可比性

所以A是不对的

B.我认为是印刷错误, 应该是 was

Chowmeiner

that many species of dinosaur had a metabolism more like 这里是metabolism在和like后面的's, 's (metabolism)比较啊。more like是修饰a metabolism的。

bobwangwbs

A中, 重点在比较所有格

不管"more like" 可以理解为比较"species"还是"metalbolism", 都是有问题的

不管"more like" 可以理解为比较"species"还是"metalbolism", 都是有问题的
