B is better.

tongxun

A is the better one.
choice B: wrongly use the past perfect to discribe a event that happened in the past. Moreover, the word " had" placed behind the word "as" is unnessecary , because when we delete this word, the mean of the sentence is as clear as the origion.

choice C: this choice is the worst one among these three choices, because the comparition is between two different matter: civilization and site!

发现一例：
Inuits of the Bering Sea were isolated from contact with Europeans longer than （Aleuts or Inuits of the North Pacific and northern Alaska. ）
b) were Aleuts or Inuits of the North Pacific and northern Alaska.

tongxue, 用你的解释，是不是选A?????

tongxun

不！ 若选A ，就变成Inuits of the Bering Sea 不能与Inuits of the North Pacific and northern Alaska 联系了。而题义说的是两种INUITS 与欧洲人联系时间上的比较。

还须体会体会！下次找个例子验证一下

tongxun

其实你在读这个句子的时候就有这种感觉了。要完整地读。

菜鸟问题？
为什么是were Aleuts or Inuits of the North Pacific and northern Alaska， 而不是Aleuts or Inuits of the North Pacific and northern Alaska were?
什么时候需要倒装？

tongxun

可以倒装，也可以不倒装。都行
