The parachutelike membranes of Africa's scaly-tailed flying squirrels differ from those of the flying squirrels in the family Sciuridae（ because they are attached to a cartilage rod at the elbow instead of） the wrist.

(A) because they are attached to a cartilage rod at the elbow instead of
(B) because of being attached to a cartilage rod at the elbow rather than at
(C) in their attachment to a cartilage rod at the elbow instead of being attached at
(D) in that they are attached to a cartilage rod at the elbow rather than at
(E) in their being attached to a cartilage rod at the elbow instead of

答案是C，我选的A，我觉得because意思更清晰一些，为什么用in that？不明白。求指导~

置顶帖里面有 in that在表示两者差异时优选

我靠！这道题好tricky 在gmat club基本看到都跟我一个答案D，怎么都想不通会是C，因为C这个选项违背了很多做SC的语法原则，结果在manhattangmat看到了解释说明

the correct idiomatic expression with 'differ' is 'differ in...', so a-b are out. (if you said 'differ because', you'd have to give the reason behind the genesis of the difference, not the nature of the difference itself.) that leaves c-d-e, which all contain the supposedly ambiguous pronoun - so you're stuck with it.

楼主答案给错了，是 D ，不是 C

我做错是因为 OG12上明确说 in that 过时了，基本不用，没想到这里又出现了

我选 B，解释给的是 being attached 表达笨拙

估计这里 in that 的意思不是 OG12上说的表原因的，而是说在哪方面有差异，大家千万要注意了，坑爹，以后碰到 in that 表原因应该基本还是错

这道题的they不会指代不明吗？？？

这里的in that 的用法和一般的有所不同 RON的解释the correct idiomatic expression with 'differ' is 'differ in...', so a-b are out. (if you said 'differ because', you'd have to give the reason behind the genesis of the difference, not the nature of the difference itself.) that leaves c-d-e, which all contain the supposedly ambiguous pronoun - so you're stuck with it.
