标题: PREP07-SC-123-集合问题的单复数疑惑
123. (30997-!-item-!-188;#058&004357)
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 includes cows, camels, pigs, and hippos--than to any other mammals.

(A) 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 includes cows, camels, pigs, and hippos--than
(B) 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 include cows, camels, pigs, and
hippos--as
(C) whales, porpoises, and dolphins to be more closely related to some of the oldest known
even-toed ungulates--a group of hoofed mammals that today include cows, camels, pigs, and
hippos--than they are
(D) whales, porpoises, and dolphins as being more closely related to some of the oldest known
even-toed ungulates--a group of hoofed mammals that today includes cows, camels, pigs, and
hippos--as they are
(E) whales, porpoises, and dolphins as more closely related to some of the oldest known even-toed
ungulates--a group of hoofed mammals that today include cows, camels, pigs, and hippos--than

这里的a group of hoofed mammals为什么用单数， hoofed mammals已经加了s，a group 的话更应该是复数了啊。。这样的话一上来就会把正确选项排除掉了TT

你想要表达的是hoofed mamals的这一个团体（group）包含了其他什么动物，
再根据句意体会一下~

如果说一个团体包含了其他的动物的话。。。感觉更应该用复数了= =

08 语法笔记里有

“a body of/a collection of/an arrary of/a series of/a set of/a portion of/a group of/ a constellation of/a team of + 复数名词”作主语后面谓语都用单数形式，因为body/collection等被视作集合名词(collective noun)
