These two sentences are two different case. In the sentence you cited, 'that resembling an ape's' describes  'a vocal tract', no problem

In our sentence, we need to compare, then we should compare the metabolism of dinosaur to the metabolism of .....

B. the metabolism of many dinosaur species were more like a warm-blooded mammal’s (metabolism) than a cold-blooded reptile’s (metabolism)

A is wrong, let's not consider the comparison, the sentence structure using like is wrong, because 'like....' can't be used here to describe the metabolism.

Species of dinosaur had a metabolism like a warm-blooded mammal’s

I will agree with sunshining,比较的用法才是本句考的核心。选B

ring_cheng

但是B中的were 与主语the metabolism单复数不一致，如何解释得通？

vote for A!

对啊，我也选了C

是不是C awkward?

crbeijing

同意选B。

主谓一致不是这题考的关键。另外，有些词既可以当单数，也可当复数，如：staff.

Vote for A

The plural form of metabolism is 'metabolisms'...thus, B is not right

但B的核心词是metabolism，用were岂不主谓不一致？

对呀,就凭这个也绝对不能选B呀

支持A

选C的战友是没看全划线后的句子吧? 如果like 后面有those of 那么than后面也应该有啊

A，参OG167

Neanderthals had a vocal tract that resembling an ape's and so were probably without language, a shortcoming that may explain why they were supplanted by our own species.

CDE中的those是指metabolisms吗？如果是那样的话，a warm-blooded mammal’s是不是应该改成a warm-blooded mammal，去掉后面的’s， 我当时就这么想的，所以排除了CDE，而B又主谓不一致，排除了

豁然开朗  看到选项C中有THOSE OF 就激动 觉得是平行结构 也没仔细读题

请问有没有这样的用法：这里的more like a warm-blooded mammal's than a cold-blooder reptile's

是修饰 a metabolism， 而不是sunshining 提到的对比两个 metabolism ?

NN斧正！

不过B主谓不一致应该是不对的。

a metabolism more like a warm-blooded mammal’s than a cold-blooded reptile’s.
