Question

求一个英文单选题的答案

（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

原句括号中的内容替换成选项E的内容就对了 可是这样不就成了the discovery...has doubled the number吗 感觉不对啊
但是答案就是E
求解释

Answer 1

A That twenty-one ceramic dog figurines were discovered during the excavating 相当于一个独立的句子，因为它有主语和谓语were
E The discovery of twenty-one ceramic dog figurines during the excavation 不是一个独立的句子，因为它只是一个词组的组合
而题干 has nearly doubled the number of these artifacts known to exist 中已经有谓语has doubled
根据一个句子里不能有两个或以上谓语的语法原则，选E才是正确的。

Answer 2

The discovery是名词所以放在前面是对的， 但是其余的选项也是对的，所以我不太确定为什么只有e是对的。可能是因为e读的比较通吧。
其实不用去管括号外面的东西，只要把括号里面的字颠覆一下就行了。
把discovered变成名词就是discovery。之后只要在那前面加The，在后面加of 就可以了。
就这样：That twenty-one ceramic dog figurines were discovered during the excavating.
The discovery of twenty-one ceramic dog figurines were discovered during the excavation.

希望对你有帮助 :)
