Try it now. :)

 

A is the best. that our sense of smell might, without our realizing it, affect who we choose as friends has been suggested.

 

that is a determiner

 

well, second thought. A is wrong. if A were "that of" , it would be correct.

 

that of our sense of smell might, without our realizing it, affect who we choose as friends has been suggested.

 

so, B is the best.

Classic TOEFL question--we have one sentence with two verbs.

 

Verbs are in red.

 

Extra phrases and clauses are in pink.

 

Anybody know what to do next?
