GWD-12-Q28:

Some scientists contend that many species of dinosaur had a metabolism more like a warm-blooded mammal’s than a cold-blooded reptile’s.

 

A.      that many species of dinosaur had a metabolism more like

B.       that the metabolism of many dinosaur species were more like

C.      that the metabolisms of many species of dinosaurs were more like those of

D.      there were many species of dinosaurs that had metabolisms more like those of

E.       there were many dinosaur species that had a metabolism more like that of

a warm-blooded mammal’s 应该是指a warm-blooded mammal’s metabolism,那么如果按照答案A来说，

那就不对等了，相当于是用many species of dinosaur 与a warm-blooded mammal’s metabolism做对比，

烦请哪位给解释一下。谢谢

dinosaur（主语）+had（谓语）+a metabolism（宾语），要比较的是宾语，和后面的a warm-blooded mammal's (省略 metabolism）一致，默认就是比较宾语，不会有歧义认为后面的是在和主语比较。

一般歧义只会在比较主语时产生，即如果要比较dinosaru和warm-blooded mammal，就要补出谓语.

Some scientists contend that many species of dinosaur had a metabolism more like a warm-blooded mammal’s than a cold-blooded reptile’s.

A.      that many species of dinosaur had a metabolism more like

A.      that many species of dinosaur had a metabolism more like

B.       that the metabolism of many dinosaur species were more like

第一次做我也选了B，但因为后面都是A's B生命体的所有格，所以，如果前面要以metabolism为主语，也应该是a dinosaur's metabolism。
