SC7：
7. The intricate structure of the compound insect eye,having hundreds of miniature eyes called ommatidia, help explain why scientists have assumed that itevolved independently of the vertebrate eye.  （E)


(A) having hundreds of miniature eyes called ommatidia, help explain why scientists have assumed that it

(B) having hundreds of miniature eyes that are called ommatidia, helps explain why scientists have assumed that they


(C) with its hundreds of miniature eyes that are called ommatidia, helps explain scientists’ assuming that they


(D) with its hundreds of miniature eyes called ommatidia, help explain scientists’ assuming that it


(E) with its hundreds of miniature eyes called ommatidia, helps explain why scientists have assumed that it


关于C选项的解释中讲到“the use of assuming with the possessive is unwarranted”,这是为什么啊？求解释，谢谢了！

曼哈顿语法书里说
Also, as a guessing rule ofthumb, try to steer clear ofthe plural possessive form in answer choices. In roughly 80-90% ofpublicly released problems that contain the plural possessive in the underlined portion, the GMAT avoids the plural possessive answer choice or choices for a variety of reasons:...

大神。。我不理解这两题的区别。为什么T120的所有格+v-ing格式正确呢？？？真心求解！！ ...

我们看这五个选项：

(A) a phenomenon most scientists agree to be caused by humanbeings in burning fossil fuels,

(B) a phenomenon most scientists agree that is caused by fossilfuels burned by human beings,

(C) aphenomenon that most scientists agree is caused by human beings’ burning offossil fuels,

(D) which most scientists agree on as a phenomenon caused byhuman beings who burn fossil fuels,

(E) which most scientists agree to be a phenomenon caused byfossil fuels burned by human beings,

caused by后面要跟原因。原因是是什么呢？是燃料的燃烧。也就是说一定要强调出是燃烧导致这个phenomenon；

A:  in buring fossil fuels是修饰语，辅助结构，可以去掉，去掉之后就成了caused by human beings；错

B, D, E是一样的道理


OG13第8题也是类似的。
