(A) bodies, the scorpion’s nerve cells are clustered in its head, like a mammal’s (B) bodies, the scorpion’s head had a cluster of nerve cells, as a mammal does (C) body, the scorpion has a cluster of nerve cells in its head, as a mammal does (D) body, nerve cells are clustered in the scorpion’s head, like a mammal’s (E) body, a cluster of nerve cells is in the scorpion’s head, like a mammal’s
答案是C，按照unlike的规则直接选出答案没有问题，只是有一个问题：their body这个用法有异议 看到之前的解释（每个动物只有一个身体，如果是bodies说明它们每个有多个身体），感觉牵强附会而且完全没有语法的理论依据，为此我也查了语法书（薄冰英语语法），上面给的例句是Their house is bigger.这句话的意思是他们的房子比较大，暗指他们住在一个房子里，而如果使用Their houses那么就指多栋房子 按照薄冰的说法，their body是肯定错的，因为不能说other arachnids只有一个身体，而their bodies是否存在歧义（一种解释是他们每个都有一个身体，另一种解释是他们每个都有多个身体）好像还没有哪个语法书讨论过，但是如果这样存在歧义的话，那所有的复数物主代词或复数名词所有格+复数名词的组合都会存在歧义，这样解释的话非常扯淡
