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
Verbal review claims the answer to be B
Barring that in C Subject should be Neanderthal...I have a different query out here
Explanation for not selecting C is that tracts are compared to an ape's ( TRACT )
WHy cant we assume "ape's (TRACTS)), as the former part of the sentence syas (TRACTS).
?
SHOULD WE ASSUME THAT THE NOUN IMPLIED AFTER THE SECOND PART OF THE COMPARISION I.E APE's depends on whether APE is shown as singular APE's or PLURAL APES'....
Pls help
