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


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

查过一些老的帖子，不过都没人考虑过这个问题，困扰我好久了，难道是我逻辑有问题。。。

ABCD都有错。答案是E。 但是E的句子主语就the discovery 谓语has nearly doubled the number

可是这样对么？ 但是从逻辑上讲我觉得应该是  某数字double 某数字吧？ the discovery 也能double？?

lz， 这道题的谓语是has doubled, 要用单数，就只能选a,d之一啦，a是不对的

这道题的主语是 The discovery of twenty-one ceramic dog figurines ，无论是翻译成中文，还是英文本身的逻辑都是讲的通的

我知道ABCD的错误都是很明显的。。。

看来真的我脑子转不过弯来。。。。我怎么就是觉得讲不通呢。。。。应该是个人问题。。请54。。。。

逻辑没有错。并不是楼主所说的只有数字才能double数字 请看webster‘s对double的解释1 a [+ obj] : to cause (something) to become two times as great or as many ? They doubled their winnings. b [no obj] : to become two times as great or as many ? The price of the house had doubled. = The house had doubled in price.
