A的时态有问题，不符合主句的现在时态

以下是引用rt316在2004-7-10 11:39:00的发言：

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


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

答案是E，A最主要的问题在哪里？有没有类似的例子可以佐证，谢谢！

前后时态不一致

I consider this question by " the excavating", since the word "excavating is a verb, a verb can't follow by of.



Therefore, answer A,C,and D can be then eliminated.





When we make a decision between B and E, we can pay attention on the "Agreement"






Because the main verb of this sentence is "has", it should follow a single aubject, but...






(B) Twenty-one ceramic dog figurines........  has....... => a plural
subject should follow by a plural "have" instead of "had"






(E) The discorey of twenty-one ceramic dog figurines.....has...  => correct!!

总觉得discovery没法double数量...

那请问不管后面的句型，Twenty-one ceramic dog figurines double the number...可不可以的啊？

B错在主语和谓语不一致,主语是Twenty-one ceramic dog figurines后面的discovered at the excavation of .......一直到Arizona都是修饰前面的主语的,然后这个句子的谓语就是has, 既然前面是figurines,那么后面就要用have,所以B错了.

OG当中提到当主语和谓语中间隔了很多东西的时候,这种错误是最容易犯的.

看了5页，才终于找到我要的解释，谢谢楼上的！

感觉A的主语从句不顺  不如E好

但还没找到证据

我再想想

動詞若可用-tion當作名詞結尾（excavation)

就盡量不要用-ing當作名詞結尾(excavating)

所以A不對

ecochem

我得顺顺思路,综合大家的讨论，E比A好在于以下2点：

1、用the discovery of...短语比冗长的主语从句简洁

2、当动词有名词形式，此处是excavation，就不要用动名词形式excavating（这点好像OG上面有一些例题）

mc637t

在此本身理解是:

A:主動優於被動,若動詞excavate已有excavaion作名詞,不須以動名詞型態作代替名詞的動作,除非該動詞無名詞型態,故不選

名詞子句的確可作名詞或主詞用,但該句重心句就會變成"事件的過程"而非"事件"本身

E貌似也可以按照XDF老师讲解的：n.+of 用来限定该n.,所以E比较好吧。
