GWD-1-21再讨论

Q21:

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.

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

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

利用简洁原则排除后剩下这两项，正确答案是E，但要和后面的double the number 搭配，是否B项更好呢？

known to exist 是修饰artifacts吧？

主谓搭配原则的关键应在于discovery 和double能否搭配？

从逻辑上讲，应该是discovery使the number of artifacts known翻倍，而Twenty-one ceramic dog figurines本身是不能的。因为如果他们还被埋在地下（但他们还是存在的），就不能使the number of artifacts known翻倍。

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

我想：B的最大错误在于主谓单复数不一致吧。figurines 和 has

同问: A的主语从句为啥就不对呢?

请NN指教啊, 先谢过了...

句子结构要避免头重脚轻，直接用finding概括主语，使得主谓结构简洁，这是ets最prefer得，double在这里应该是产生结果，使得的意思，这个发现出土了更多的史前古器物，使得早已出土为人所知的史前古玩的数目又增加了一倍。

 同问,A ,怎么错了?
