Unlike other arachnids, which have their nerve cells evenly distributed along their bodies, the scorpion's nerve cells are clustreed in its head, like a mammal's.

(a)bodies, the scorpion's nerve cells are clustreed in its head, like a mammal's

(b)bodies,    the scorpion's head had a cluster of nerve cells, as a mammal does

(c)body, the scorpions has a cluster of nerve cells in its head, as a mammal does

(d)body, nerve cells are clustered in the    scorpion's head, like a mammal's

(e)body, a cluster of nerve cells is    in the scorpion's head,    like a mammal's

答案是C

我怎么也想不明白，their    后面怎么会用单数的body呢？scorpions后面又怎么会是has呢？

哪位大虾请指点迷津阿

多谢了！

scorpions后面又怎么会是has呢？

这个问题以前也有过讨论，好像也没有最终结果，scorpions单独作主语应该可以加复数，但这题后面有个its，说明the scorpions是单数。

their 后面单数的body，说明other arachnids每个只有一个身体，bodies就成怪物了。

See OG 167: "it is better to use the singular in referring to an anatomical feature common to an entire species."
