PREP 214 不定式的问题 请大家帮忙看看

（Scholars who once thought Native American literatures were solely oral narratives recorded by missionaries ）or anthropologists now understand this body of work to consist of both oral literatures and the written works of Native American authors, who have been publishing since 1772.
A.    Scholars who once thought Native American literatures were solely oral narratives
B.    Scholars thinking of Native American literatures once solely as oral narratives, and
C.    Scholars who once had thought of Native American literatures solely as oral narratives and
D.    Native American literatures, which some scholars once thought were solely oral narratives  
E.    Native American literatures, which some scholars once, thinking they were solely oral narratives

请问下后面的这个understand this body of work TO CONSIST 是做什么成分？ 如果是不定式做定语的话，应该和前面修饰部分是有逻辑上的动宾关系。这里感觉是做后置定语， 但是逻辑上又不对。还是understand 有固定用法 谢谢

我觉得这个应该是做后置定语的  相当于to consist前面省略了which is,which指代的就是work
