　　(A) that in England

　　(B) they had in England

　　(C) they had been in England

　　(D) those used by the English

　　(E) that of the English

　　謎底：D

　　【剖析】

　　Choice (D) is correct. It avoids the error of the original by using the demonstrative pronoun “those” to refer appropriately to “ships” so that “Viking ships” are logically compared with “those [ships] used by the English.”
