標題[語文] SC代名詞問題 PP2 #36

想請問各位
談到代名詞時
老莫曾說優先指代原題主詞
PP詳解總是說指代最近的那個名詞
但有時候原題主詞可能不是最接近代名詞的那個名詞
這就變成要去鑽研句意才能下得了手
但到底是老莫為準 還是PP詳解的說法為準呢
以下有個例題PP2 #36
A group of paleotologists recently announced that a site in Utah
has yield fossils of some of the biggest armored dinosaurs ever found,
and that they were at least 25 million years older than any similar dinosaur
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
type previously found in North America.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
(B)and they are at least 25 million years old than those of any similar
dinosaur type that previously was
PP詳解說(B)的they指代不明確 但若我把they視為最接近的名詞--dinosaurs
這樣的解釋說不通嗎??
正解:
(D)fossils that are at least 25 million years older than those of any
similar dinosaur type previouly
我覺得原題接到(D)這段好突兀喔
而且found不是該用被動語態嗎??
感謝高手的指點了~~

推 akainorei:我記得這題考得是比較對等 07/14 11:49
→ akainorei:你仔細看看, 只有D 是化石對化石 07/14 11:50
→ akainorei:其他是恐龍對化石 or vice versa 07/14 11:50
→ waterdrop:謝謝樓上的回答 可是我覺得B難道不能看成是恐龍對恐龍嗎 07/14 11:54
推 akainorei:你的they vs those 不就是恐龍對化石 07/14 11:55
→ waterdrop:啊..我一直以為 這個those是跟著they的指代對象在變的 07/14 12:24
→ waterdrop:those不能也指dinosaur嗎 真不好意思>< 07/14 12:25
推 patricia331:those 指 dinosours的話 會變成dinosour of any 07/14 14:25
→ patricia331:similar dinosaur type 這樣不通呀(抱歉剛恐龍拼錯) 07/14 14:26
推 dandanny:found 前省略了which were 。B變成成恐龍活了這麼久的意 07/14 16:32
→ waterdrop:謝謝以上諸位 但還想請教found若是which were found省略 07/14 17:30
→ waterdrop:這樣逗號後面的fossils(at least...previously)不就少了 07/14 17:32
→ waterdrop:動詞嗎?? 07/14 17:32
推 patricia331:那裏不用動詞呀 就像I am older than you. 07/14 21:36
