有道理！@

Ron:

in this problem, (b) is ambiguous. it could mean one of the following 2 things: ("BI" = bering inuits, "E" = europeans, "A" = aleuts etc.)
* BI were isolated from E longer than BI were isolated from A
* BI were isolated from E longer than A were isolated from E
we can't tell.
if you add the "were", then the meaning is narrowed down to the latter of these two possibilities.
