正确答案:
B:is threatened both because its leaves are extremely tasty to a voracious opossum species and because its
主语是单数的,所以A/D/E都不对;
然后看B、C:
B:both because X and because Y
C: both because X and also Y
有and表明有平行,B的平行是both下两个because解释的原因平行;而C的平行是because下的平行,C要想正确,得写成because both X and also Y才可以算对。相比之下B更合理。
