9.(39)Unique among the Romance languages, Portuguese features days that are not named but numbered, evidence of their strong mercantile heritage.

(A) features days that are not named but numbered, evidence of their strong mercantile heritage

(B) features days that are not named but numbered, evidence of its strong mercantile heritage

(C) has numbered rather named its days, evidence of its strong mercantile heritage

(D) numbered rather than named its days, out of its strong mercantile heritage

(E) features days that are not named but numbered, evidence of the strong Portuguese mercantile heritage

逐一解析选项：

(A) features days that are not named but numbered, evidence of their strong mercantile heritage
问题：使用了"their"，但在句子中没有清晰的复数名词来与之匹配。

(B) features days that are not named but numbered, evidence of its strong mercantile heritage
正确。句子明确地指出了葡萄牙语（Portuguese）这一特点，并正确使用了"its"来指代"Portuguese"。

(C) has numbered rather named its days, evidence of its strong mercantile heritage
问题：此选项在"has numbered rather named"的句式结构中缺少了"than"，使得句子不完整。

(D) numbered rather than named its days, out of its strong mercantile heritage
问题：此选项缺少了一个动词，如“features”或“has”，使得句子结构不完整。

(E) features days that are not named but numbered, evidence of the strong Portuguese mercantile heritage
问题：此选项的"the strong Portuguese mercantile heritage"冗长且重复。与简洁的“its strong mercantile heritage”相比，这种表达方式显得啰嗦。

因此，选项B是最清晰、最简洁、且语法上正确的选择。
在英语中，对于一些非生物的名词，我们通常使用“its”作为代词。例如，对于“the car”我们会说“its door”。但对于一些概念性或集合名词，使用代词会更加复杂。
当我们说“Portuguese”，我们指的是葡萄牙语，这是一种语言。一般来说，对于语言，我们更倾向于使用“it”或“its”来作为代词。
但是，有一个观点是，当谈论与文化、传统或习惯有关的事物时，使用表示文化或国家的名词可能更清晰。这就是为什么有些人可能会偏向于选项E的原因，因为它使用了“the strong Portuguese mercantile heritage”来明确指出这是葡萄牙文化的一部分，而不仅仅是葡萄牙语这种语言的特点。
然而，即使考虑到这一点，选项B仍然是一个语法上正确的句子，并且在结构上更为简洁。而选项E，虽然提供了更多的文化背景，但其表达略显啰嗦。
这种问题没有绝对的“正确”或“错误”。不同的人可能会根据自己的理解和英语习惯做出不同的选择。在这种情况下，考虑到GMAT的重点是寻找最清晰、最简洁的答案，我个人仍然倾向于选项B。
