Prep1-6
The list of animals that exhibit a preference for using either the right or the left hand has been expanded to include the lower vertebrates.
Prep1-123
According to two teams of paleontologists, recent fossil discoveries in Pakistan show that whales, porpoises, and dolphins are more closely related to some of the oldest known even-toed ungulates--a group of hoofed mammals that today includescows, camels, pigs, and hippos--than to any other mammals.
同样的形式，that的指代不同，相对应的谓语的单复数也不同。
请大家指教！ 再推到一般范围 A OF B THAT 的问题 欢迎大家解答. 作者: soulwangh 时间: 2013-12-3 18:36
You observation is accurate and precise .
In "A of B that" pattern, that can refer to either A of B or B, depending on the logical meaning and context of the sentence.
In your fist sentence, the list can not has hand.-> illogical
In your second sentence, according to the single verb:includes, that refers to a group of hoofed mammals , and it also makes sense to do so. 作者: shiwei521 时间: 2013-12-3 19:40
