我觉得ls同学分析的非常赞！

这道题，我的take-home就是——解答全划线SC题的思路
参见
http://www.manhattangmat.com/blog/index.php/2012/01/13/modifiers-and-meaning-a-gmatprep-sentence-correction-problem/
总结： 全划线部分考点——meaning (focused on ambiguity and illogic) & modifier (the placement of modifier)

那么今后遇到全划线题目，我会这么去做（以这道题为例）：
看到全划线，要阅读题干明白大致意思
Even though Clovis points, (spear points with
longitudinal grooves chipped onto their faces,) have
been found all over North America, they are named for
the New Mexico site where they were first discovered
in 1932.
首先，当我读到... Clovis points, spear points ....的时候，感觉points重复了一下，头脑立刻想到两种情形：平行并列，或者同位语修饰
非常迅速的扫过"spear points with ..."这个分句的时候，确定属于同位语修饰，那么这是一个插入成分，暂时不用管它啥意思

读完全句，要有逻辑框架，这句子逻辑上形成contrast:  
where they have been found (all over ....) vs. the name (a site ... first discovered)
以上是提炼出来的大意
然后看作者表达logical relationship，用的词是"even though"，没问题——全划线句子，对逻辑词汇要高度关注！
接着看，体现contrast的信息出现在句子主干，而那个我晃一眼就过去的插入语成分和作者想要表达的contrast无关，也就是说，作者正确地把次要信息放在了插入语的位置上。

这样，我觉得A表达挺好的，于是我就花很短的时间浏览其他项，我的关注点只有：1.逻辑意思，关注表逻辑的词汇，是否体现了contrast; 2.modifier的问题，是否重要信息在主干、次要信息在插入，然后插入的位置对不对。因为看得快，我也许就管不到什么动词形式之类的语法问题了。
B-次要信息在主干
C-一个大杂烩，体现不出contrast
D-"even though ... but were" 英文里不能成对出现，看到直接排出了
E-"while 次要，主要1，主要2"   逻辑意思不对
于是确定选A。

总结，长划线句子，我们知道他考meaning & modifier，就可以大大提高正确率和做题速度

98. Even though Clovis points, spear points with
longitudinal grooves chipped onto their faces, have
been found all over North America, they are named for
the New Mexico site where they were fi rst discovered
in 1932.
(A) Even though Clovis points, spear points with
longitudinal grooves chipped onto their faces,
have been found all over North America, they
are named for the New Mexico site where they

(B) Although named for the New Mexico site where
fi rst discovered in 1932, Clovis points are spear
points of longitudinal grooves chipped onto their
faces and have been found all over North
America.
(C) Named for the New Mexico site where they have
been fi rst discovered in 1932, Clovis points,
spear points of longitudinal grooves chipped
onto the faces, have been found all over North
America.
(D) Spear points with longitudinal grooves that are
chipped onto the faces, Clovis points, even
though named for the New Mexico site where
fi rst discovered in 1932, but were found all over
