原題照錄：
In California, a lack of genetic variation in the Argentine ant has
allowed the species to spread widely; due to their being so
genetically similar to one another, the ants consider all their
fellows to be a close relative and thus do not engage in the kind of
fierce intercolony struggles that limits the spread of this species in
its native Argentina.
A. due to their being so genetically similar to one another, the ants
consider all their fellows to be a close relative and thus do not
engage in the kind of fierce intercolony struggles that limits
B. Due to its being so genetically similar the ant considers all its
fellows to be a close relative and thus does not engage in the kind
of fierce intercolnny struggles that limit
C. Because it is so genetically similar, the ant considers all its
fellows to be close relatives and thus does not engage in the kind
of fierce intercolony struggles that limits
D. Because they are so genetically similar to one another, the ants
consider all their fellows to be close relatives and thus do not
engage in the kind of fierce intercolony struggles that limit
E. Because of being so genetically similar to one another, the ants
consider all their fellows to be a close relative and thus do not
engage in the kind of fierce intercolony struggles that limits
這題答案是 C 或 D，實際上還有得吵，因為沒有 OA。
個人看法如下：
一、(A), (B), (E) 的錯誤太明顯，可以不必討論。
二、(C) 不佳之處如下：
1. it is so ... similar 按照語意 it 應該「往後」指 the ant，
但是，什麼是 it is similar? 跟誰像？不合邏輯。
2. the ant 是指一整個 species 嗎？如果是，the ant 不會有 fellows，
因為所有的螞蟻都屬於這個 species。
3. that limits 中的 that 應該指的是 stuggles，不該指 kind，因為只
有 struggles 才會限制其 spread，如此方合語意。故動詞用 limits
會產生主動詞不一致。
三、(D) 改正了上述的問題。而沒有畫線的 its native Argentina 的 its 是
往前指代 this species，並不會有與前方 they, their 混淆的問題。
四、結論：個人看法答案是 (D)。
供參考，歡迎討論。
