抛块砖头先。

1.superdino请看og11-9 解释，其中有typically 一字，所以although后当然还可以有省略形式了。。

C.Although typically introduces a subordinate clause,which has a subject and a verb,but here there is no subjext and sighted is not a complete verb

2.既然although一般情况下是要求跟完整的句子，那么说明在特定条件符合时，才可省略。
一般来讲，基本要求是：
(１)从句必须为主系表结构
(２)从句主语与主句主语一致

满足以上２点后,能否省略还要看有无歧义.

Ｃ简化：Sunspots　appear。。although (sunspots　are) never sighted at..

注意：此Sunspots非彼（Sunspots）啊，而２９题：
。。that the economy, although （it is）growing slowly, is not nearing a recession.
此economy就是彼（it ）economy。

搜肠刮肚over.

我的拙见：

我刚开始也百思不得其解第9题的C选项是如何被排除的。但是反复看了OG的解释后发现，原来but这个词很关键——The contrast itself is indicated by the conjuction "but".翻译一下原句就清楚了：Sunspots在太阳表面是可见的，但是在Sun's pole or equator却从来没有被看见。这里隐含着一个对比。

而although引导的是让步状语从句，重点在上半句。翻译一下为：Sunspots出现在太阳表面，尽管在Sun's pole or equator从来没有被看见。很明显，C选项没有忠实原意。
