A
The bones of Majungatholus atopus, a meat-eating dinosaur that is a distant relative of Tyrannosaurus rex and closely resembles South American predatory dinosaurs, have been discovered in Madagascar.
B

C

D
A distant relative of Tyrannosaurus rex, bearing a close resemblance to South American predatory dinosaurs is Majungatholus atopus, a meat-eating dinosaur, the bones of which have been discovered in Madagascar.
E

首先看C。In Madagascar, the bones of a meat-eating dinosaur, Majungatholus atopus, distantly related to Tyrannosaurus rex and closely resembled South American predatory dinosaurs, have been discovered.
粗体部分是句子主体。开头地点状语,然后主语,同位语,定语短语(related to ... and resembled ...),然后动词(被动语态的现在完成时)。同位语和定语都应该是跟主语有关,但这里看到明显无关,bones不是Majungatholus atopus,bones也不relate和resemble。那我们看看同位语/定语是不是解释了紧跟前面的名词,貌似是ok的,meat-eating dinosaur就是Majungatholus atopus, Majungatholus atopus也relate和resemble...。所以C貌似ok。
然后看D。A distant relative of Tyrannosaurus rex, bearing a close resemblance to South American predatory dinosaurs is Majungatholus atopus, a meat-eating dinosaur, the bones of which have been discovered in Madagascar.
开通同位语,然后是一个类似倒装结构的句子,然后又是同位语,最后一部分是定语从句。这个结构很混乱,但貌似也没错。
那我们最后看一下A。The bones of Majungatholus atopus, a meat-eating dinosaur that is a distant relative of Tyrannosaurus rex and closely resembles South American predatory dinosaurs, have been discovered in Madagascar.
首先是句子主语,然后是接了一个定语从句的同位语,然后是动词和地点状语。这个结构明显非常清晰,毫无歧义。所以会选A。
