问一个很傻的问题，如下：
Unable to build nests or care for their young, a female cowbird lays up to 40 eggs a year in the nests of other birds, including warblers, vireos, flycatchers, and thrushes.

        A.        a female cowbird lays up to 40 eggs a year in the nests of other birds, including
        B.        a female cowbird will use the nests of other birds to lay up to 40 eggs a year, including those of
        C.        female cowbirds use the nests of other birds to lay up to 40 eggs a year, including those of
        D.        female cowbirds lay up to 40 eggs a year in the nests of other birds, including
        E.        up to 40 eggs a year are laid by female cowbirds in the nests of other birds, including       

这题答案是D，我错选了C。

我做题思路如下：
插入语是Unable to build nests or care for their young，所以AB单复数描述错误，排；E选项逻辑主语错，排。

C、D中，我的理解是those指代nests,所以C优于D。

在OG的解释中，没有理解为什么those指代eggs 而不是 nests？

Including作为noun modifier，应该和所修饰的名词挨在一起，所以C是错的，而且those指代不明。

请问： D 先项 female cowbirds lay up to 40 eggs a year in the nests of other birds，根据维基百科，一双褐頭牛鹂（一公一母）一季可以产下36枚卵，那么很多母牛鹂[b] 一年 可以产远不止40个蛋啊？

including修饰cowbirds，而不是就近修饰。v-ing的修饰，只能是修饰主句主语表伴随，或者修饰前面的整句话表示结果。
所以c中including还是修饰cowbirds，后面再加those of就是错的，不知道在指代什么。
