标题: OG13 76题求助！
76. Combining enormous physical strength with higher
intelligence, the Neanderthals appear as equipped for
facing anv obstacle the environment could put in their
path, but their relatively sudden disappearance during
the Paleolithic era indicates that an inability to adapt
to some environmental change led to their extinction.

(A) appear as equipped for facing any obstacle the
environment could put in their path,

(B) appear to have been equipped to face any
obstacle the environment could put in their path,

(C) appear as equipped to face any obstacle the
environment could put in their paths,

(D) appeared as equipped to face any obstacle the
environment could put in their paths,

(E) appeared to have been equipped for facing any
obstacle the environment could put in their path,

答案是B，我选了C。
OG解释说"because Neanderthals "disappeared", the verb describing their apparent abilities cannot be present tense, so as equipped must be changed to to have been equipped" 这个不太理解哦。

作为智慧和力量的结合体，尼安德塔人具备面对任何困难的能力，但是他们突然的消失表示他们还是存在某种适应能力的欠缺。
首先看到indicates，可以确定appear一定是现在时。然后你要注意划线外的部分。最后有一个led有没有。环境的变化led他们消失了，他们必须是在环境变化之前就have been equipped不是吗？

C项的appear as equipped to face 这个成分怎么理解呢？equipped是过去式？过去式为什么不对呢~

我没说equipped是过去式哟~

一定要研究语法结构的话这个叫做The perfect infinitive

v. to+HAVE DONE用来区分动作发生的先后顺序，如He pretended to have seen the film.["pretended" describes a past condition; "to have seen" describes something prior to that time.] 即，你骗你朋友说，你和胡书记有合影。那么，theoretically你和胡书记合影的动作必须必须必须发生在你骗你朋友之前，不然就不科学了。

如果非要用过去式，这里也应该是appear to be equipped。 appear as + adj同样不科学。

原意是appear to固定搭配“似乎”的意思。如果做题时把appear另一个意思“出现”来理解就容易选错为appear as equipped...，错误理解为“作为具有了XXX的人种而出现”。
不知道这样理解正确否？

思路很赞~

只是不明白，这样的话appear为什么不用过去式appeared

有道理
可是即使是作者的推测，可是appear to 的主语是the Neanderthals ，主谓一致应该是主语决定谓语吧，后面的句子用indicates事因为主语是disappearance这个事件。

the Neanderthals 作为一个集合名词谓语用复数形式

Collective Nouns : Almost always singular

我不是说单复数的问题，我是说时态，appear这种形式是一般现在时，我觉得应该用过去时，因为N已经消亡了是过去的事了

问题很好，我找了一下外国盆友也有同样的问题。然后Ron神给解答了，如下：
提问：Further , one question still remains , which construction is better in context
appear to have been equipped
appeared to have been equipped
Basically I wanted to know which is the correct verb tense here

解答：by default, "appear" is in the present tense, since we're talking about the way these things appear to present-day observers.

if there were a context that would place "appear" in the past, then you could use the past tense. for instance: to nineteenth-century observers, they appeared to have been equipped...
but, absent such a context, you should go with the present, for simplicity (the default assumption is that this "appears" to be the case to present observers).

in this case, you've also got parallelism between "appear" and "indicates", two descriptions that both describe observations made in the present.
since "indicates" is not underlined, that determines the tense context. so your other observation, which is made at the same time, should be parallel to it.

那这种用法算不算是虚拟语气的一种呢？要表达的内容要不要跟事实情况相反？

我不觉得对，appear to have equipped,难道是equip在appear之前吗？
