[讨论]再问og-167

OG 167
(Neanderthals had a vocal tract that resembled those of the apes) and so were probably without language, a shortcoming that may explain why they were supplanted by our own species.

A. Neanderthals had a vocal tract that resembled those of the apes
B. Neanderthals had a vocal tract resembling an ape's
C. The vocal tracts of Neanderthals resembled an ape's
D. The Neanderthal's vocal tracts resembled the apes’
E. The vocal tracts of the Neanderthals resembled those of the apes

疑问1：without language 意为没有语言吗？so were probably without languange. without 好像很少这么用，这句话的确切意思是什么？为什么不是have not

2。关于ape's, 后面省略的是什么?

thanks a lot

我这道题目第一次做也错了,看了OG的解释觉得挺明白的,当然我也可能理解有误:

WERE WITHOUT LANGUAGE的主语应为NEANDERTHALS,而不是VOCAL TRACT.

HAD和WERE平行,HAVE就错了.

APE'S 后应该是VOCAL TRACT.

此题目考点是: 逻辑主语一致,单复数一致.
