Because the lemur shares some traits also possessed by other primates, it is frequently mistaken for an ancestor of modern monkeys and chimpanzees.
(A) Because the lemur shares some traits also possessed by other primates, it is frequently mistaken for
(B) Because the lemur shares some traits with other primates, it is frequently mistaken for
(C) Because the lemur shares some traits that other primates also have, it is frequently mistaken to be
(D) Because some of the lemur's traits are shared with other primates, they are frequently mistaken for
(E) Because of its sharing some traits that other primates possess as well, the lemur is frequently mistaken as
Meaning analysis: The lemur has some traits in common with other primates, that is why it is usually confused with an ancestor of modern monkeys and chimpanzees.
Error analysis: Presence of “Because” at the beginning of the sentence indicates causation. Cause: the lemur shares some traits with other primates, Effect: it is frequently mistaken for other primates.
Pronoun it unambiguously refers to the lemur, because other primates are plural.
Generally question is about two idioms:
Share X with Y
Mistake X for Y
A, C, E are out.
D distorts the original meaning.
