问2个问题。。。

原题：A (Believed to originate from a small area on their foreheads, elephants emit low-frequency sounds that may be used) as a "secret language" to communicate with other members of herd
答案C  Elephant emit low-frequency sounds, believed to be originate from a small area on their foreheads, that they may use

问题是a里主语是elephants所以搭配不当，那c里主语就是sounds了？他们长的一样－－还是因为believed的就近修饰？
还有 最后那个that修饰的时候不是应该紧跟名词后吗？还是说中间有插入语的话不影响？

1楼说的挺对的....

A:In grammer, the subject of “ believed......" is elephants, however it is no sense.
Think it in a logic way, the subject should be sounds.

C:Elephant emit low-frequency sounds, believed to be originate from a small area on their foreheads, that they may use
Now the meaning is right, " believed...."modifies sounds(就近修饰)

插入语一般修饰离它最近的词。
而a中 elephants cannot originate , so it is wrong.
C的主语还是elephant，中间作为插入语处理器 也可以理解为省略that加be动词的一个从句
