The scientists said the discovery could provide an important clue to how and when mammals -- or any land animals -- colonized the islands of the West Indies.

我想问how和when从句不是不能并列吗？不是说只有who和whose可以并列的么。。。

这几个题从逻辑意思入手可能会更好解决一点




GWD-18-Q19
           




New genetic evidence—together with recent studies of elephants’ skeletons, tusks, and other anatomical features—provide compelling support for classifying
           Africa’s forest elephants and its savanna elephants as separate species.

A.      provide compelling support for classifying





B.      provide compelling support for the classification of





C.      provides compelling support to the classification of





D.      provides compelling support for classifying
           





E.       provides compelling support to classify
provide的主语是evidence，E选项有evidence提供support为了classify的意思，逻辑意思显然出了了问题
如果要选E的话要改成  provides compelling support for us to classify
1. GWD28-Q1:

Scientists claim that the discovery of the first authenticated mammal bones in amber could provide important clues of determining, in addition to how, when mammals colonized the islands of the West Indies.



A.      of determining, in addition to how, when mammals colonized the islands of the West Indies

B.      in the determination of how and when the islands of the West Indies were colonized by mammals

C.      to determine how mammals colonized the islands of the West Indies and when they did

D.      for determining when the islands of the West Indies were colonized by mammals and how they were

E.       for determining how and when mammals colonized the islands of the West Indies
这题也同样，provide的发出者是amber而不是scientist，amber提供clue只是能determine而不是为了determine
C改成  for scientists
                       to determine how mammals colonized the islands of the West Indies and when they did so 就没问题了，但还是没E简洁

provide 的发出者应该是  discovery吧

C 中的they 指代的谁？ 能解释一下吗？

C中的THEY应该指代的是mammals

New genetic evidence—together with recent studies of elephants’ skeletons, tusks, and other anatomical features—provide compelling support for classifying Africa’s forest elephants and its savanna elephants as separate species.

A.    provide compelling support for classifying
B.    provide compelling support for the classification of
C.    provides compelling support to the classification of
D.    provides compelling support for classifying
E.    provides compelling support to classify
此处要说一下to的用法，当不定时表目的时，句子的主语默认是不定时的主语。---出自曼哈顿。
此句的主语是evidence, 但是evidence不是人，不可能发出clarify这个动作呀。所以E此处是错误的.其次，此处按照划线外句子又必须填入一个作为动词的classify，即classify A and B as...而非the classification of A and B as.....所以BC不对。再次也是最明显的一点，evidence是单数喂，AB肯定都不对，所以只能选D。

其实我以上所说知识点同样也能解决这个贴里别的童鞋提出的新问题，
Scientists claim that the discovery of the first authenticated mammal bones in amber could provide important clues of determining, in addition to how, when mammals colonized the islands of the West Indies.



A.      of determining, in addition to how, when mammals colonized the islands of the West Indies

B.      in the determination of how and when the islands of the West Indies were colonized by mammals

C.      to determine how mammals colonized the islands of the West Indies and when they did

D.      for determining when the islands of the West Indies were colonized by mammals and how they were

E.       for determining how and when mammals colonized the islands of the West Indies

即discovery自己不会determine 什么东东，故C选项的to determine 表目的就很不合适了。C和E是大多数童鞋纠结的点，别的选项很好排除，就不说了。

lorinlee

to determine的主语是……discovery, 逻辑上讲不通（discovery不能自己发出动作）。搞不懂的同学建议把书manhattan SC翻到P225（CHAPTER 13  infinitive专门讲不定式的），把这页看完，应该能懂了。

另外两个句子
GWD-26-Q17
Responding to the public’s fascination with-and sometimesundue alarm over-possible threats from asteroids, astronomers have developed a scale to rate how likely a particular asteroid or comet will be to collide with Earth. [astronomer可以发出rate，用to]

GWD-18-Q19
New genetic evidence—together with recent studies of elephants’ skeletons, tusks, and other anatomical features—provides compelling support for classifying Africa’s forest elephants and its savanna elephants as separate species.[evidence不能发出support，用for]
