Salt deposits and moisture threaten to destroy the Mohenjo-Daro excavation in Pakistan, the site of an ancient civilization that flourished at the same time as the civilizations in the Nile delta and the river valleys of Tigris and Euphrates.
a. same
b. that had flourished at the same time as had the civilizations
c. that flourished at the same time those had
d. flourishing at the same time as those did
e. flourishing at the same time as those were
It's obvious that the OA is A
But for c, d, e, are those word "those" function as pronouns? I do usually say in the way of answer b, so I'm wondering what the function of "those" is - I was never taught that "those" is a pronoun.
Thx.
