3. A
huge flying reptile that died out with the dinosaurs some 65 million years ago,
the Quetzalcoatlus had a wingspan of 36 feet, believed to be the largest
flying creature the world has ever seen. A

(A) believed to be

(B) and that is
believed to be

(C) and it is
believed to have been

(D) which was, it
is believed,（C）

(E) which is
believed to be

正解是c，我选的A，看了好多帖子写这道题的，有没人能给个总结性的评价呢，热盼ING

A.believed to be是which is believed to be的省略，更具GMAT惯例，非限制性定语从句直接跟前面，那么跟的是a wingspan,指代不明，错
B.and that，假如有and就是并列，那么that的从句就不通
C.对
D.和A一样,which指代不清
E.和D一样

支持a

如果a的believed有修饰wingspan的嫌疑，那c的it有指代不清的嫌疑了。

believed to 在这里肯定是修饰前面它那个词的

而且，后面用了完成时，believed to后面也该用完成时，表明一种到目前为止的状态

为何说C的it指代不清？？
去掉前面的同位语主语，结果变成
Quetzalcoatlus had a wingspan of 36 feet, and it is
believed to have been the largest
flying creature the world has ever seen.
大家觉得有任何指代不清的地方么？这是并列结构里代词的标准用法啊～

谢谢各位

Fadaway的说法我比较信服，堪称精彩，但是believed to be是which is believed to be的省略有根据吗，我语法基础不好。。。OPEN TO DISCUSS

我再补充一点IT之所以没有指代问题也有 A
huge flying和
the Quetzalcoatlus是一个东西，请指正
