Q37:

In ancient Thailand, 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.

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 creating 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，没有问题。我的问题是这里几个选项的they 和 them分别指代什么？

因为我知道代词不能指代修饰语，难道指代temples?

请指教，谢谢

i think so

谢谢

可是这里就不会有诸如代词指代不清的语法错误吗？

In ancient Thailand, 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.

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

这里的they不可能指代artisans,因为已经是所有格形式,不是自由名词, 不可能指代construction and decoration 因为他们是介词的宾语; 然后不可能是temples,因为替换后不符合逻辑,只有是楼上说的那个了; 不过这道题我也错了........

顺便贴一下我自己的分析,因为我找不到讨论,就皆楼主的贴讨论一下吧,
