Fossils of a whale that beached on an African shore more than a million years ago and was subsequently butchered by hominids have been recovered by paleontologists.
A.   that beached on an African shore more than a million years ago and was subsequently butchered by hominids have
B.   that beached on an African shore more than a million years ago and then was subsequently butchered by hominids has
C.   that beached on an African shore more than a million years ago, which was subsequently butchered by hominids, has
D.   having been beached on an African shore more than a million years ago and subsequently butchered by hominids, have
E.   having beached on an African shore more than a million years ago and then subsequently were butchered by hominids have
正确答案是A，但我觉得A的那个was很有歧义啊，逻辑上应该指的是鲸鱼，但感觉语法上指的是鲸鱼的化石啊……虽然其他的也都能看出来是错的……
求指教~

beached on an African shore 和 was subsequently butchered by hominids是平行的，都是修饰a whale的吧

fossils 是复数，语法上也不可能和 was搭配。

最完整应该是填个that在中间。
Fossils of a whale that beached on an African shore more than a million years ago and that (和前前面的that并列修饰 whale)was subsequently butchered by hominids have been recovered by paleontologists.

但因为was明显不可能和fossils 搭配，因此省去也不会引起歧义。省略that就更简洁。

就是因为fossils不能和was配我才有的疑问嘛~Fossils of a whale 不是主语嘛？但是后半句说的又是那帮人把鲸鱼吃了而不是把化石吃了，所以好纠结……
