Modern (4)_____ are not as generous as Linne in welcoming other species into Man’s lofty (5)_____, and the chimpanzee is now referred to (6)_____ Pan troglodytes.

选项
A、him
B、it
C、them
D、her
答案
C
解析
本题是一道词汇和语法题,考查代词"them"的正确指代和使用。本句的大意是:虽然初步的比较未能找到任何明显有价值的东西(nuggets),但是初步的比较的确至少指出到哪里去寻找这些有价值的东西(nuggets)。本题应当选择一个能够替代复数形式名词"nuggets"一词的代词。可见只有选项"them"能够充当本题的正确答案。
