Answer:
- The hallux (big toe) of Carpolestes has synapomorphic features shared with the euprimate.
- The nail on the distal phalange is an example of a synapomorphic feature.
Explanation:

- The synapomorphic features are those shared by two or more organisms that inherited it from a common ancestor, and which evolved for the first time in it.
There are more synapomorphic features shared with the euprimates. The nail on the distal phalange of the big toe and euprimates might be considered as a synapomorphic feature. It is quite different from the same nail of the tree shrew.
