NN Findjuhl   给出的解释说: 两个宾语从句的并列，而且用逗号表明了这一目的，必须要补充that避免歧义. 我不太明白他指的是哪俩个宾语从句, 如果是Research has shown that....., and that....  第二个that里面的they 没有指代对象. 根据题意, they 应该指代individuals. 谁能解答一下?

Research has shown

1) that when speaking, individuals who have been blind from birth and have
thus never seen anyone gesture nonetheless make hand motions just as
frequently and in the same way as sighted people do

and

2) that they will gesture even when conversing with another blind person.

1)和2)都是Research has shown的宾语从句， 第二个宾语从句的they是指代individuals，很清晰

第二个宾语从句里的代词居然指代第一个宾语从句里的主语。 以前真没见过， 难道这是GMAT的特殊用法？

这个无所谓的，不是GMAT也有这样的用法，nothing special
