问题 Carbon-14 dating reveals that the megalithic monuments in Brittany are nearly 2,000 years as old as any of their supposed Mediterranean predecessors.
选项 A、as old as any of their supposed
B、older than any of their supposed
C、as old as their supposed
D、older than any of their supposedly
E、as old as their supposedly
答案 B
解析 The sentence suggests that, based on carbon-14 dating evidence, the megalithic monuments in Brittany are 2,000 years older than certain other monuments previously believed to predate them.
The construction 2,000 years as old as ... fails to convey this age difference; the sentences using this construction are nonsensical and can be firmly eliminated as possibilities.
A    This choice uses the nonsensical construction 2,000 years as old as.
B    Correct. This choice uses the correct
construction older than and correctly uses the adjective supposed to modify the noun predecessors.
C    This choice uses the nonsensical construction 2,000 years as old as.
D    This choice uses the correct construction older than. However, it incorrectly uses the adverb supposedly to modify the adjective Mediterranean rather than using supposed as an adjective modifying predecessors.
E    This choice uses the nonsensical construction 2,000 years as old as. Furthermore, it incorrectly uses the adverb supposedly to modify the adjective Mediterranean rather than using supposed as an adjective modifying predecessors.
The correct answer is B.
