the Hopi,是指一个民族，所以descendants用复数，而这里的people 的意思是民族的意思，所以用 a Pueblo people。who这里就是多余了，people of the southwestern US才表达正确。这题类似的考法我在现场机考的时候考到。

还有下面几题：

84. Precipitation in (mountainous) regions that (collects)
   in a number of (small) valleys that (are called) rills
   and gullies.
句子结构是怎样的，两个that分别有何用。

124. (Identical) twins are always (of the) same sex,
    (resemblance) one another very (closely), and
    have similar fingerprints and blood groups.


130. Intricate (choreographer) emphasized the beauty and
    virtuosity (of the) nineteenth-century prima ballerina,
    while the male (dancer functioned) only as her partner
    (until) the twentieth century.

Answer, why and how to correct.

Thank you in advance

这两个都是是定语从句的引导词，所以B应改为have been collected
但如果不看单纯的错误的话，好像这个句子不完整，所以第二个that有问题。估计打印问题。

124. (Identical) twins are always (of the) same sex,
     (resemblance) one another very (closely), and
     have similar fingerprints and blood groups.

C错，改成resemble，动词形式的平行对称。

130. Intricate (choreographer) emphasized the beauty and
     virtuosity (of the) nineteenth-century prima ballerina,
     while the male (dancer functioned) only as her partner
     (until) the twentieth century.

A错，choreographer是指人，改成choreography，是指舞蹈艺术，和句意符合。

Thanks for your excellent explanations. I also argee that the second "that" in T84 is printing wrong.

124  应该为  resembling,  对吗？

晔子

是resmble，看平行结构and后面用的是一般现在时~~
因为要平行，所有前面也要用一般现在时
