73. Combining enormous physical strength with higher  intelligence, the Neanderthals appear 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,
这题答案是B，此题解释，因为穴居人disappeared 所以这里appear后要跟to have been equipped
疑问：那为什么不直接跟eqquipped或者had been equipped

欣欣s

appear to 当词组记吧。。。。

If the sentence 直接跟eqquipped或者had been equipped, it means that was a fact.  However, it ONLY appears to be so . . . Not proven yet.
