Almost like clones in their similarity to one another, the cheetah species’ homogeneity makes them especially vulnerable to disease. (A) the cheetah species’ homogeneity makes them especially vulnerable to disease
(B) the cheetah species is especially vulnerable to disease because of its homogeneity
(C) the homogeneity of the cheetah species makes it especially vulnerable to disease
(D) homogeneity makes members of the cheetah species especially vulnerable to disease
(E) members of the cheetah species are especially vulnerable to disease because of their homogeneity 选e。但有些疑问, (1)clones in their similarity 和e选项中because of their homogeneity中的their分别指代clones和members of the cheetah species, 这是同一句话,但their指代不同。看了曼哈顿里面说if a sentence uses the same pronoun multiple times, every instance must refer to the same antecedent. 混乱了..还是说their有什么特别地方? (2)e选项中的their为什么不指代cheetah species呢?都是复数也就近,而且A of B这种结构代词不是也可以修饰B吗?为什么这里就不会有歧义呢?
