Combining enormous physical strength with higher
intelligence, the Neanderthalsappear as equipped for
facing any obstacle the environment could put in their
path, but their relatively sudden disappearance during
the Paleolithic era indicates that an inability to adapt
to some environmental change led to their extinction.
(A) appear as equipped for facing any obstacle the
environment could put in their path,
(B) appear to have been equipped to face any
obstacle the environment could put in their path,
(C) appear as equipped to face any obstacle the
environment could put in their paths,
(D) appeared as equipped to face any obstacle the
environment could put in their paths,
(E) appeared to have been equipped for facing any
obstacle the environment could put in their path,

这个题中path为什么用单数，OG上的解释不太懂，请牛人解释下：while individual Neanderthals may well have followed diff erent paths, this sentence is about the single evolutionary path taken by Neanderthals as a species.

因为未划线部分说了 尼安德特人这个种族的灭亡和消失，所以一定是把所有的尼安德特人作为一个整体（Neanderthals as a species），一个种族来看待，描述的是这个种族的命运，而不是许多个尼安德特人个人的 path~~


另外，麻烦LZ以后到相关版块去发表讨论帖啦，比如语法题就到语法专区发帖子，这样比较更容易得到回复，也让更多的人能够参与进来~~
