Verb form; Rhetorical construction; Logical
Even though, although, and whileintroduce clauses that appear to be logically incompatible but in fact are not. In this sentence, the apparent incompatibility that must be clearly expressed is that although the spear points are named for a particular place in New Mexico, they are in fact found throughout North America. Because their discovery took place in 1932 and is not ongoing, the correct verb tense is simple past, not present perfect.
(B) Although named for the New Mexico site where first discovered in 1932, Clovis points are spear points of longitudinal grooves chipped onto their faces and have been found all over North America.
B The sentence structure indicates that the expected incompatibility is between the geographically based name of the points and their physical properties, which makes no sense; where discovered is missing a subject— the correct form is where they were firstdiscovered.
single apparent contradiction is redundant and nonsensical.
首先我想确认一下这句的意思，我的理解是 C points这种具有某种特征的spears尽管发现在 North America到处都是，但是他们还是以他们第一次在NM发现的地点名来命名的。
其次我想问一下关于OG对于B选项的解释，解释可以理解，可是我认为B选项最大的问题在于改变原题句意，强调点发生转移。A强调他们还是以。。。命名，而B选项强调他们在NA到处都是。我的意思是发生侧重点不同后，根本不要再看这句话到底是make sense or no sense，就可以直接排出了吧。。。
