关于主谓一致的一道题

brightpath

Prep语法笔记里面的一道题
我的问题有三个。
原体如下：The list of animals that exhibits a  preference of either using the right or the left hand has been expanded to include the lower vertebrates.


答案A >   exhibits a  preference of either using the right or the left hand has been expanded to include


答案A的分析说：   That指代 animals，因此that从句的谓语应该用复数。


问1： 哪个是that从句的谓语？
问2： 第一个主谓是哪个？   第二个主谓是哪个？



答案B >   exhibits the preference to use either the right or the left hand has been expanded and includes


答案B的分析说：   exhibits 使用错误导致主谓不一致。


问3： exhibits 使用怎么个错发？

自己领悟了一下， 档案应该如下：

问1：that从句的谓语是exhibit

问2： 第一个主谓是 The list..........has been; 第二个主谓应该是 animals（主）    exhibit（谓）      

问3：The list 是单数，所以它的谓语应该用单数形似的 has been；   animals是复数，所以它的谓语exhibit应该用单数。

怎么确定 that 修饰的是 the list  还是 animals？？

你说的对
A of B that C....... 结构中，根据that的后面的逻辑意思来判断that修饰的是A还是B。


在这里应该是......animals that exhibit......


所以正确答案应该是D: exhibit a preference for using either the right or the left hand has been expanded to include
