98. Even though Clovis points, spear points with
longitudinal grooves chipped onto their faces, have
been found all over North America, they are named for
the New Mexico site where they were fi rst discovered
in 1932.
(A) Even though Clovis points, spear points with
longitudinal grooves chipped onto their faces,
have been found all over North America, they
are named for the New Mexico site where they
were fi rst discovered in 1932.
(B) Although named for the New Mexico site where
fi rst discovered in 1932, Clovis points are spear
points of longitudinal grooves chipped onto
their faces and have been found all over North
America.
(C) Named for the New Mexico site where they have
been fi rst discovered in 1932, Clovis points,
spear points of longitudinal grooves chipped
onto the faces, have been found all over North
America.
(D) Spear points with longitudinal grooves that are
chipped onto the faces, Clovis points, even
though named for the New Mexico site where
fi rst discovered in 1932, but were found all over
North America.
(E) While Clovis points are spear points whose faces have longitudinal grooves chipped into them, they have been found all over North America, and named for the New Mexico site where they have been first discovered in 1932.

答案是A
E的一个错误是时态，这个没有问题，还有一个就是while引导句子的问题
OG认为这个句子：In this sentence, the apparent incompatibility that must be clearlyexpressed is that although the spear points are named for a particular place in New Mexico, they are in fact found throughout North America
而E中：While introduces a description of Clovis points and suggests that thisappears incompatible with their appearance all over North America, which makesno sense

看过有的帖子观点主要是：
while既可以引导转折又可以引导同时发生，因此导致的歧义，或者称为是句子重心的转移
对于E的解释
根据OG里E的解释，E实际上是比较对象偏差，
A中是命名地点和广泛分布地点的不一致
E中是appearance的一般情况和在NA的不一致

其实自己理解的时候理解不到E中是appearance的不一致，反而可能会把错误归结到是两事情同时发生，所以想问：

while表示对比的时候，如果两个句子没有明确的对比形式（比如：Some people like coffee, while others like tea），那么是不默认两句的比较对象是一样的（就像这里，while之后是对Cpoints appearance的描述，所有逗号之后也默认是对Cpoints appearance的描述，只不过辅以地区限制），那么是不是就不存在比较对象的不一致？

谢谢了。
突然觉得这个问题是不是有点钻牛角尖了--！

我觉得while主要还是表达”同时...“的意思引导时间状从，但是也有让步的意思。之前有NN发帖贴了Longman解释的while的用法，我觉得挺好，给楼主参考：while:
1
during the time that something is happening
They arrived while we were having dinner. While she was asleep, thieves broke in and stole her handbag. She met Andy while working on a production of Carmen.
see usage note during
2
all the time that something is happening
Would you look after the children while I do the shopping?
3
used to emphasize the difference between two situations, activities etc
Schools in the north tend to be better equipped, while those in the south are relatively poor.
4
in spite of the fact that
?synonym although
While never a big eater, he did snack a lot.While there was no conclusive evidence, most people thought he was guilty.

所以我理解，即使while有让步“即使”的意思，但是E的逻辑意思没有办法解释，不能说“即使S points是...，他们也能在全北美找到..."吧，所以我觉得还是主要看对比的对象和逻辑意思，while也可以表达让步的意思。

我感觉E的错误在于and改变了原句的转折关系，句子意思都给改变了..我好像就这样删了~

E这里WHILE表示的是同时的意思。。显然把原句的逻辑意思都变了。。。
