这题选A，OG上说B选项where 后面缺主谓，这点我同意。但我想问一下A选项主句如果改成“they
are named for the New Mexico site where first discovered in 1932.”还能不能对？因为与前面主谓相同，where从句能不能省略主谓呢？作者: footprintkp 时间: 2012-1-20 11:11
they are named是一般现在时，如果where后省掉they were，则默认共享they are，那么就是where they are discovered in 1932

这貌似还真不能省略，谢谢啦~~~作者: 指弹之水 时间: 2012-1-29 22:04
前面although引导的条件状语从句Although named for the ...中其实是省略了they are，用一般现在是表示的就是一个general的通常的情况，所以这里they are 和主句Clovis points are spear points的主语谓语相同，可以省略they are。
而B中解释的缺少they were是因为，这里where引导的定语从句（这里应该算是个定语从句吧？？有点晕乎。。。）是前面although状语从句中的从句，所以如果这里省略主谓语的话，那么久会被理解为where从句的主谓语与前面although引导的状语从句的主谓语相同，即又与整个句子的主句的主谓语相同，那么就是they are了，结合后面的具体时间点in 1932，那么用they are理所当然的就错掉啦
