题目：
The first trenches that were cut into a 500-acre site at Tell Hamoukar, Syria, have yielded strong evidence for centrally administered complex societies in northern regions of the Middle East that were arising simultaneously with but independently of the more celebrated city-states of southern Mesopotamia, in what is now southern Iraq.

The first trenches that were cut into a 500-acre site at Tell Hamoukar, Syria, have yielded strong evidence for centrally administered complex societies in northern regions of the Middle East that were arising simultaneously with but independently of the more celebrated city-states of southern Mesopotamia, in what is now southern Iraq.

A) that were cut into a 500-acre site at Tell Hamoukar, Syria, have yielded strong evidence for centrally administered complex societies in northern regions of the Middle East that were arising simultaneously with but

B) that were cut into a 500-acre site at Tell Hamoukar, Syria, yields strong evidence that centrally administered complex societies in northern regions of the Middle East were arising simultaneously with but also

C) having been cut into a 500-acre site at Tell Hamoukar, Syria, have yielded strong evidence that centrally administered complex societies in northern regions of the Middle East were arising simultaneously but

D) cut into a 500-acre site at Tell Hamoukar, Syria, yields strong evidence of centrally administered complex societies in northern regions of the Middle East arising simultaneously but also

E) cut into a 500-acre site at Tell Hamoukar, Syria, have yielded strong evidence that centrally administered complex societies in northern regions of the Middle East arose simultaneously with but


答案是E。 按照答案，重组句子，得到如下结构：

The first trenches cut into .....have yielded strong evidence that......

这样一来，cut into和have yielded 都成了谓语，但却没有连接词 e.g. and. 不符合语法。正确结构应该是：

The first trenches that cut into....have yielded...

但没有这个选项.
各位意见如何？

省略that were

that were 不是spliter

The first trenches …, Syria, have yielded strong evidence that ….. societies (…) arose simultaneously with but independently of the more celebrated city-states …….. LZ怎么想的？that were cut这所以不好是因为不如直接用done做后置定语简洁，因此cut哪里会是谓语呢。。只不过是后置定语修饰主语

省略that were

对


that were这种wordy的issue不能作为绝对的split，只能作为相对的，即比较下才能得出的结论


原句有更明显的错误
