正确答案:
B:prehistoric people usually gathered as much meat as they could during the summer and preserved it either by smoking or by salting
这道题的关键是在either by smoking or by salting 的修饰对象上,根据语义逻辑只有preserve meat才会用到smoke和salt的方法,而gather meat是用不到的。所以只有B选项对,gather as much meat as possible and preserve it either by smoking or by salting
