8.        A huge flying reptile that died out with the dinosaurs some 65 million years ago, the Quetzalcoatlus had a wingspan of 36 feet, believed to be the largest flying creature the world has ever seen.

(A) believed to be

(B) and that is believed to be

(C) and it is believed to have been

(D) which was, it is believed,

(E) which is believed to be

Why the answer is C, why not E.

18.        A peculiar feature of the embryonic mammalian circulatory system is that in the area of the heart the cells adhere to one another, beating in unison and adopting specialized orientations exclusive of one another.

(A) beating in unison and adopting

(B) they beat in unison while adopting

(C) beat in unison, and adopt

(D) beating in unison yet adopting

(E) even though they beat in unison and adopt

why answer is D not C,為什麼是用V+ing的形式是因為is的關係嗎?但是這個句子不是與that 後面的子句平行嗎?

(D) made the face of the statue after his mother and the body after his wife

(E) made the face of the statue look like his mother and the body look like his wife

Why the answer is B not C, what is the meaning "after that"

麻煩各位大大，謝謝

8. 如果选E，which指代a wingspan，那么就变成A wingspan is the largest flying creature.意思错误。which可以跨越修饰，但是好像还没有碰到可以跨越整个句子，去修饰主语的情况。

18的句子结构.A peculiar feature（ of the
embryonic mammalian circulatory system） is that（ in the area of the heart
）the cells adhere to one another（, beating in unison yet adopting specialized orientations exclusive of one another.）D选项的ing形式表示伴随动作，由于in unison 和exclusive of one another有转折的意思，所以用yet连接两个ing分词。

45习惯用法model    after, 仿造，模仿的意思，如句子中的，以他母亲的脸为原形来塑造雕像的脸。如，我以你为原形来塑造雕像，那就是，I model the statue after you.

不知道以上解释清楚否？

謝謝大大的解釋，關於18及45大致OK清楚了

只是 8.此題句子結構我是覺得有點怪怪的。A huge flying reptile that died out with the dinosaurs some 65 million years ago本身並沒有動詞除非它當作補述說明。如果題目將 A.....ago放到the Quetzalcoatlus had a wingspan of 36 feet的後面感覺會比較順暢，除非他有它特殊用法在

A huge flying reptile (that died out with the dinosaurs some 65 million years ago) 和 the Quetzalcoatlus，是同位结构

is believed to be 中不定式用一般现在时态与believe时态一致，意味着这种生物现在还存在，而用have been 则意味着这种生物早在believe之前就已灭绝。

which是不可以指带前面一句话的，要指代前面整句话要用ing和名词
