正确解答是A
我的问题是， 对B,E两道题里OG的解释有些疑惑。B里面，OG说 ....where first discovered in 1932,Clovis points .......这里的where后面需要加They(OG解释：the sentence structure indicates that the expected incompatibility is between the geographically based name of the points and their physical properties, which makes no sense; where discovered is missing a subject— the correct form is where they were first discovered. )
D 里面，OG并没有说 where后面需要加They（OG解释： The sequence of information in this sentence is confusing; even though and but both introduce information that is contrary to expectation, so to use them both to describe a single apparent contradiction is redundant and nonsensical. ）
我的问题是，D选项里，是OG省略了没有解释，默认D里面 where同B后面需要加they, 还是说D里面不需要加They。如果是后者的话，有没有亲能帮忙解释一下呀，为什么D里面where后面不需要加they呢？
不是说where后面一定要有完整的主谓宾结构，而是把where从句放到这句话的语境中看，这里如果不说明where they were first discovered in 1930（clovis points在1930年最先发现的地方）的话，句意就变成了the New Mexico site where first discovered in 1930（新墨西哥这个地方最先发现在1930）where变成修饰NM site，完全不符合语意！
所以修饰的正确与否一定要根据语意来看，没有什么绝对的对错规则
