标题: v-ing的问题
求问NN们，178. (31961-!-item-!-188;#058&006732) (GWD-1-Q21)

That twenty-one ceramic dog figurines were discoveredduring the excavating of a 1,000-year-old Hohokam village in Tempe, Arizona,has nearly doubled the number of these artifacts known to exist.

A.That twenty-one ceramic dog figurines were discovered during the excavating

B.Twenty-one ceramic dog figurines discovered at the excavation

C.Discovering twenty-one ceramic dog figurines at the excavating

D.Ceramic dog figurines, twenty-one of which were discovered during excavating

E. The discovery oftwenty-one ceramic dog figurines during the excavation

这道题其他错误都理解，C选项discovering twenty-one ceramic dog figurines at the excavating做主语有没有问题，我觉得这里不是08语法全解里说的discovering应该改成discovery,或者说，在Gmat中允不允许现在分词从句当主语呢？感激不尽！

Being heavily committed to a course of action, especially one that has worked well in the past, is likely to make an executive miss signs of incipient trouble or misinterpret them when they do appear.

excavating 和 the excavation
if you see a split between
* an -ING form that's used as a noun, and
* a dedicated noun（专有名词） form of the same action,
then ALWAYS pick the dedicated noun form.

notice that this doesn’t mean that you should automatically reject all –ING forms of those actions, since some of them are not gerunds; some of them are modifiers, in which case you should absolutely use the –ING form.

The performing of certain dance moves requires years of practice.
--> inferior, though not technically incorrect
The performance of certain dance moves requires years of practice.
--> superior

Every year, the running of the Boston Marathon attracts hundreds of thousands of spectators.
--> this is correct, since there is no dedicated noun form (like “runnage” or “runnation”).
People running the boston marathon are generally in very good physical shape.
--> also correct, since the -ING form in this instance is a modifier, not a noun.

关于discoverying 和 the discovery
in general, ACTION NOUNS (adoption, destruction, etc.) don't imply that the subject of the sentence is performing the action; they usually refer to the general notion of that action.
by contrast, –ING forms do usually imply that the subject of the sentence is the actor.

here are two simpler sentences to illustrate:
i want to learn about adopting dogs --> implies that i actually want to adopt dogs myself.
i want to learn about the adoption of dogs --> i want to learn about dog adoption in general, but there is no implication that i actually want to adopt any canines into my own home.
