Known today by a name they would not have recognized—Anasazi, Navajo for “ancient enemies”—the ancestors of the modern Zuni and Hopi built and then, for reasons still mysterious, abandoned the complex roads and structures of the domain they ruled a millennium ago in the American southwest.

A.      ancestors of the modern Zuni and Hopi built and then, for reasons still mysterious, abandoned the complex roads and structures of the domain they ruled a millennium ago in the American southwest

B.       reasons are still mysterious why the ancestors of the modern Zuni and Hopi built and then abandoned the complex roads and structures of the domain they ruled in the American southwest a millennium ago

C.      modern Zuni and Hopi had ancestors who, a millennium ago, ruled a domain in the American southwest where they built and then abandoned complex roads and structures for still mysterious reasons

D.      domain of the American southwest was ruled a millennium ago by the ancestors of the modern Zuni and Hopi, who built and then, for reasons still mysterious, abandoned complex roads and structures

E.       complex roads and structures of the domain that the ancestors of the modern Zuni and Hopi ruled a millennium ago in the American southwest were built and then, for reasons still mysterious, abandoned

Known today by a name they would not have recognized到底说的是谁？

TN里面给的答案是A   GWD31里给的答案是C

A

Known today by a name they would not have recognized--从插入语 “ancient enemies”来看，应该是ancestors，所以从一致关系上考虑，A更好。

若是这处比较不了，还可以从这几处来比：

1）C选项的从句部分，太冗长，而这部分完全可以通过动词来简化。

2）where从句主语they指代模糊，不好。

3）ruled，built，abandoned明显有并列关系，C选项把这些关系都混乱了。
