The human nervous system and a telephone system superficially resemble each other, not only because the former carries information in the form of electrical impulses and because all of its neural pathways converge in the brain and spinal cord, which together form a kind of central exchange.



(A) The human nervous system and a telephone system superficially resemble each other, not only because the former carries

(B) The human nervous system and a telephone system bear a superficial resemblance because theyboth carry

(C) The human nervous system bears a superficial resemblance to a telephone system both because the former carries

(D) Superficially, a telephone system resembles the human nervous system both becausethey carry

(E) There is a superficial resemblance between a telephone system and the human nervous system, not only because they both carry

Prep 解释说， they 没有指代对象，难道they 不能用于指代 The human nervous system and a telephone system ？？？

"because all of its neural pathways converge"中的its暗示之前一句because从句主语应该为The human nervous system (the former of The human nervous system and a telephone system)

恩恩，看来是从逻辑上判断没有指代对象，谢谢！！！

呃……其实B选项已经完全把原句意思曲解了，一定不会是对的选项。OG里面很多题目都是这样的，不管选项怎么改，原句的核心意思不能有改变。这里原句是说“The human nervous system” carries information...如果这里用they both carry，动作发出者就错了。从这个角度想，解释中说they没有指代对象，指的是they不能指代the human nervous system吧?

E not only错

D a telephone system resembles the human nervous system 而不是The human nervous system and a telephone system 所以 they没有指代

prep 说：B 选项中的they 没有指代对象，在B项中they 不能指代 The human nervous system and a telephone system 吗？
