一道经典题了，可我还是对正确答案有疑问。
46.In ancient Thailand，much of the local artisans' creative energy was expended for the creation ofBuddha images and when thev constructed and decorated the temples that enshrined them。

(A)much of the local artisans' creative energy was expended for the creation of Buddha images and when they constructed and decorated the temples that enshrined them

(B)much of the local artisans' creative energy was expended on the creation of Buddha images and on construction and decoration of the temples in which they were enshrined

(C)much of the local artisans' creative energy was expended on the creation of Buddha images as well as constructing and decoration of the temples in which they were enshrined

(D)creating images of Buddha accounted for much of the local artisans' creative energy， and also constructing and decorating the temples enshrining them

(E)the creation of Buddha images accounted for much of the local artisans' creative energy as well as construction and decoration of the temples that enshrined them

答案是B，我的问题是：they虽然从语义上读出是images,但可以从语法上不是既可指代images又可指代temples吗？那不是有多重指代的问题了吗？？？百思不得其解啊....

我觉得这里的they和them都是指代 local artisans的。如果they是image或者temples的话constructed and decorated 前面得加were，要用被动语态，而A选项用的是主动。但是when前面用and连接那就表示前后得平行，A选项明显不平行所以是错误的。我们看正确的选项B选项，你看and前后on the +n+of工整的三个平行。in which是定语从句先行词是temples那么就说明后面的they不是temples,根据意思只能是temples庇护人，人是被庇护的，所以they还是指代 artisans.

they应该指代image，不然意思说不通啊。enshrine是供奉的意思

gmat语法选的不是对的项，是错最少的，答案项如果不存在一点错都没有就选错最少的，大概是因为这个吧
