在GMAT里有whether..or not 的用法吗

在GMAT里有whether..or not 的用法吗？或者可以用whether.. or..的用法可以吗？就像07prep语法1的70题，

It is unclear whether chimpanzees are unique among nonhuman species in their ability to learn behaviors from one another, or if, when other animals are studied in as much depth, similar patterns would be found.

(A) if, when other animals are studied in as much depth, similar patterns would be found

(B) if other animals were studied with as much depth they would exhibit similar patterns

(C) would similar patterns be found in other animals if they were studied in as much depth

(D) whether similar patterns would be exhibited in other animals that were studied with as much depth

(E) whether other animals would exhibit similar patterns if they were studied in as much depth

C选项可以看成是whether..or..并列吗

不能，C选项就是or并列。前一个whether从句和后一个whether从句并列。

我觉得答案是D~求确认
楼主的说法好像没有咦

求助啊，不明白为什么不能是whether A or B,而要是whether A...or...whether B啊
从语义上怎么没读出来需要用or来并列两个whether从句呢，一个whether不可以吗？

是因为or前面的逗号的原因吗？
