【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】Logical predication; Diction
The verb argue here, because it expresses the idea of arguing for a position or theory, should be followed directly by a clause introduced by that, without a pause. Verb forms ending with -ing with understood subjects, like the one beginning this sentence, must have their subject supplied elsewhere—preferably by the subject of the main clause.
A Correct. Argue is followed immediately by a that clause, and the subject of using is supplied by anthropologists.
B Argue is not directly followed by a that clause; moreover, by continuing with so ..., the sentence does not coherently express the intended idea.
C Argue is not directly followed by a that clause.
D The subject of the main clause, these human ancestors, will illogically be taken as the subject of using.
E The subject of the main clause, these human ancestors, will illogically be taken as the subject of using.
The correct answer is A.
