搜了一下没搜到，只好腆着脸发新帖

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.

 

1. That twenty-one ceramic dog figurines were discovered during the excavating
2. Twenty-one ceramic dog figurines discovered at the excavation
3. Discovering twenty-one ceramic dog figurines at the excavating
4. Ceramic dog figurines, twenty-one of which were discovered during excavating

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

感觉 discovery 做double 的主语不合适，我选的是A， That结构做主语。

Although people in France consume fatty foods at a rate comparable to the United States, their death rates from heart disease are far lower in France.

 

1. people in France consume fatty foods at a rate comparable to the United States, their
2. people in France and the United States consume fatty foods at about the same rate, the
3. fatty foods are consumed by people in France at a comparable rate to the United States’s, their
4. the rate of fatty foods consumed in France and the United States is about the same, the
5. the rate of people consuming fatty foods is about the same in France and the United States, the

答案是B，我选D，rate和rates 平行结构

上面这题我觉得是不是excavation和excavating的区别呢？毕竟动名词表示一个持续的动作或者状态。

下面这题如果是D的话可能产生歧义并且改变原文意思。因为D没有提到谁吃了这些食物，或许是法国和美国的动物，或许是法国和美国的人和动物的总消耗。
