Research during the past several decades on the nature of language and the processes that produce and make it understandable has revealed great complexity instead of underlying simplicity.

(A) that produce and make it understandable has revealed great complexity instead of underlying simplicity

(B) of producing and understanding it have revealed not underlying simplicity but great complexity

(C) by which it is produced and understood has revealed not underlying simplicity but great complexity

(D) by which it is produced and understood have revealed great complexity rather than underlying simplicity

(E) by which one produces and understands it have revealed great complexity instead of underlying simplicity

我选C答案是A 居然选了instead of而不是rather...but让我长久以来对黄金规则积蓄的信心大减，NN们啊。。。求解

从句"that produce and make it understandable"修饰processes,其中的it指language，意思是“产生语言并使其易于理解的过程”。从句用主动语态更简明，一下就排除CDE。

not...but是强调not的部分，而题干的instead of本来就没错，着重的还是complexity。

所以选A.
