141. Unlike transplants between identical twins, whose genetic endowment is the same, all patients receiving hearts or other organs must take antirejection drugs for the rest of their lives.
(A) Unlike transplants between identical twins, whose genetic endowment is the same
(B) Besides transplants involving identical twins with the same genetic endowment
(C) Unless the transplant involves identical twins ,who have the same genetic endowment
(D) Aside from a transplant between identical twins with the same genetic endowment
(E) Other than transplants between identical twins, whose genetic endowment is the same
In A and B, the phrases beginning Unlike... and Besides... modify patients, the subject of the main clause; thus A absurdly states that Unlike transplants ..., patients... must take ... drugs, and B that all patients except for transplants... must take ... drugs. In B and D the expression identical twins with the same genetic endowment wrongly suggests that only some identical twin pairs are genetically identical. In E, the construction Other than transplants..., all patients ... must take... drugs illogically suggests, as in B, that some patients are transplants. Choice C, the best answer, solves these problems by using a clause introduced by Unless to describe the exception to the rule and a nonrestrictive clause beginning with who to describe the characteristic attributed to all identical twins.
今天第n遍看这题,又发现新问题,想当没看见,因为时间太紧了可想了想还是不能放过
我觉得a中的whose genetic endowment 谓语是不是应该用are?og解释并没有用这点排除a,但我认为也是错误之一
因为whose的先行词是twins双胞胎的endowment应该是复数的
而且endowment根据longman是作为天资是可数的[countable] a natural quality or ability that someone has
因为手头没有更详细的字典,我想知道endowment的复数是endowments还是与单数相同?
快考了,请nn帮忙
急
谢谢,终于有人理我了,开心
顺便问一下哈,你是从哪查到的?出处?那本字典啦

朗文里面讲滴~~~~很清楚的说~~~~
got it
Unlike transplants between identical twins, whose genetic endowment is the same如果endowment在此处需要加考虑单复数,那么C选项似乎也值得商榷.WHO的先行词同样是TWINS. Unless the transplant involves identical twins ,who have the same genetic endowment
再次lost.

me too
我觉得这里只能说明一个问题~~~~~
endowment既然单复数都可以用~~~那么这里就不是解题的关键~~~
C 选项 endowment用单数在逻辑上也说的过去啊~~~就好像 we have the same book 一样~~不一定非要用 we have the same books???
