Like the thorny ballooning of a frightened pufferfish or the sudden appearance of angry sapphire hoops for which the blue-ringed octopus is named, so the California newt's display of its red underbelly is a clear warning that predators ignore at their peril.

……is a clear warning that predators ignore at their peril.警告那些捕食者,你们忽视了(靠近我的)危险性
is a clear warning for predators, so they ignore it at their peril,是一个给捕食者的警告,(那些捕食者看到这个警告后)就会忽视他们所处的危险境地
这里是加州newt发出这个警告,警告的目的是吓走捕食者,至于捕食者是不是真的被吓走了,我们并不知道,所以不能用so,用同位语解释说明警告的内容。
d中关键词of,与c比
并列
display》displaying
D,the ballooning VS the display, complex gerund平行于action noun,balloon的动名词只有ing形式,有些动词没有专门的动名词,只能用complex gerund来表示其名词形式或动作的结果。
cd之间选错了
display显示的名词形式,有动作的名词+of形式,就不要选动词ing形式, 所以“the California newt's display of”是优于c的
c用so也怪怪的
C错在so 从句,并没有因果关系
there's also the notion that
possessive + verbING + object
isn't correct, and that the correct version is
possessive + verbING + OF + object
C 和D怎么选??
at their peril 自担风险
