That twenty-one ceramic dog figurines were discovered during 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
E ！The discovery of twenty-one ceramic dog figurines during the excavation

discovery has nearly doubled the number of these artifacts?? 主语不应该是figurines吗？为什么选E呢？

figurines数字是被double吖~

而且GMAT不太喜欢用excavating这种词~有excavation这个名词不用干嘛用动名词~

答案是E的话，主语不就是discovery了吗？不就变成discovery has doubled...

我选的B，就是figurines has doubled的呀~~~~

我觉得figurines是不能double “the number of these artifacts ”；而应该是discovery 这个事情才会double。

例如：大全95题，是mechanization of farming 这个事情让corn yield 翻倍，而不是corn yield自己：

1.Although some officials noted that using machines for farming in China costs more than traditional hand cultivation, the mechanization of farming in the village
of Long Bow doubled the corn yield while the previous year’s costs were cut in half.

(A) mechanization of farming in the village of Long Bow
doubled the corn yield while the previous year’s costs were cut in half

(B) mechanization of farming in the village of Long Bow
doubled the corn yield while cutting costs to half those of the previous year

(C) mechanization of farming in the village of Long Bow
doubled the corn yield as cost were cut to half of the previous year’s

(D) farming mechanization in the village of Long Bow
doubled the corn yield as it cut in half the previous year’s costs（B）

(E) farming mechanization in the village of Long Bow
doubled the corn yield while costs were cut to half that of the previous year

答案是E的话，主语不就是discovery了吗？不就变成discovery has doubled...

我选的B，就是figurines has doubled的呀~~~~
