(C) to have brains that were

(D) that their brains were

(E) that they had brains that were

我又不明白了，请牛牛们给讲讲思路!

选A?

+that 应该不对的，因为会误解为，泥人们被告知他们的脑容量和我们一样。。

加上这个已经是Know动作之前发生的，应该使用完成时态，所以选A

此外，Known as好像是以。。闻名的意思，这里应该用不上。。。

我觉得应该选A吧。这题和我昨天作的一题很像：

It may be another fifteen years before spacecraft from Earth again venture to Mars, a planet now known to be cold, dry, and probably lifeless.

(A) again venture to Mars, a planet now known to be

(B) venture to Mars again, a planet now known for being

(C) will venture to Mars again, a planet now known as being

(D) venture again to Mars, a planet that is known now to be（A）

(E) will again venture to Mars, a planet known now as being

在A , C之间犹豫, 倾向于 A.
What's the given answer?

A

Neanderthals－古人；to have done表达动作发生于谓语前

11. The Neanderthals, once considered dull-witted brutes, are now known to have had brains fully as large as our own.

(B) as having brains that are  

(C) to have brains that were  

(D) that their brains were

(E) that they had brains that were

A的话,觉得have had brains不太对,因为the Neanderthals在被known 前有这种brain,在known之后也还是有这样的brains呀.所以我觉得have had不妥.

C的话,觉得the Neanderthals有那样的brains是客观事实,所以觉得C中的brains that were也不妥...

没答案了....非点一个不可我就点A.
