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.

    A    That twenty-one ceramic dog figurines were discovered during the excavating

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

答案是E。请问A，B错在哪里。

A是否因为句首有“that”，主语是前面整个句子，所以逻辑意思上不对。因为是“twenty-one ceramic dog figurines” double了number。但这里又引来对答案E的疑问。

E也是说前面整个主语从句的结果“discovery”double 了number啊，只是把主语从句 “That twenty-one ceramic dog figurines were discovered during the excavating of a 1,000-year-old Hohokam village in Tempe” 用“discovery”来代替了。区别在哪里？

B的错误是否在于把原句“during the excavation”改成了“at the excavation”，at不如during正确的缘故？如果介词不改，B的说法“Twenty-one ceramic dog figurines discovered during the excavation”是否正确？

谢谢。

A看似是从句做主语，但中心词仍然是figurines，B中心词也是figurines。逻辑意思上是 discovery是double的主语。。。

数字double了number不是很正常的思路吗？也许这不是ETS的思路，所以不对？

我记得以前也有一题是说观察到6颗行星，然后句尾用了-ing分词短语表伴随结果（double the number之类），逻辑主语也是前面整个句子，即“观察的结果”。

不知道为什么这种题的思路，中文和英文差这么远。其实“研究的结果”能double数量吗？应该是发现的数量double了原来的数量吧。不过或许真的是中英文思维的差异，不钻牛角尖就好了。
