73.Combining enormous physical strength with higher intelligence, the Neanderthals appear as equipped for facing any obstacle the environment could out in their oath, 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,
还是不太懂~OG说“their apparent abilities cannot be present tense",是说A &C 中equipped 是现在时吗?那是不是意思原来是 appear as ( they are ) equipped...?那么,为什么不是省略了 they were 呢? 既然现在灭绝了,那为什么不能用过去时呢?
