A South American bird that forages for winged termites and other small insects while swinging upside down form the foliage of tall trees, the
graveteiro belongs to the ovenbird family, a group of New World tropical birds that includes more than 230 species and that are represented in virtually every kind of habitat.
, the graveteiro (with comma) is our main enemy here.
It confuses us to determine the main verb of the whole sentence!
If we take a look at the sentence once more without
, the graveteiro here what it looks like
:
A South American bird
that forages for winged termites and other small insects while swinging upside down form the foliage of tall trees belongs to the ovenbird family, a group of New World tropical birds that includes more than 230 species and that are represented in virtually every kind of habitat.
So the sentence above is clearer. If we try once more removing the
, the graveteiro on the choices
A. belongs to the ovenbird family, a group of New World tropical birds that includes more than 230 species and that are
B. belongs to the ovenbird family, a group of New World tropical birds that includes more than 230 species and is
C. belongs to the ovenbird family, a group of New World tropical birds that include more than 230 species and is
D. , which belongs to the ovenbird family, a group of New World tropical birds that includes more than 230 species and that are
E. , which belongs to the ovenbird family, a group of New World tropical birds that includes more than 230 species and is
Now, through correct comprehension that the main verbs are
belongs and
is represented Quote:
A bird [belongs to the family, a group that (includes species)] and [is represented].
We know that these comprehensions are wrong:
1. a group is represented
2. tropical birds include .... sounds really funny here
It's like saying
"Birds are including humans."So now we are between B and C with s-v agreement issues.
Hence, B.
