[問題]考古題form15-Q18

An archaeological excavation at what might have been a workshop where statues were reproduced yielded 1,532 fragments of human figures, including 7 intact statues.

(A) what might have been a workshop where statues were reproduced yielded 1,532 fragments of human figures, including
(B) what might have been a workshop where statues were reproduced yielded 1,532 fragments of human figures and
(C) the site of a possible workshop where statues were reproduced yielded 1,532 fragments of human figures and
(D) the site of a possible workshop where statues were reproduced yielded 1,532 fragments of human figures, including
(E) the site of a possible workshop where statues might have been reproduced yielded 1,532 fragments of human figures, including

正確答案是B

我想請問的是：
(1)為什麼 CDE 的 the site of a possible workshop 不對呢？
(2)句末為什麼是用and，不是including呢？
我的理解是，1,532的human figures的破片，包含了7塊intact statues，這樣不對嗎？

先謝謝大家了！

正確表達：
An archaeological excavation [s]at what might have been a workshop where statues were reproduced[/s] yielded 1,532 fragments of human figures and 7 intact statues.

(1)為什麼 CDE 的 the site of a possible workshop 不對呢？

An archaeological excavation the site of a possible workshop.
連續兩個名詞。

(2)句末為什麼是用and，不是including呢？

用including的話就變成：
1,532 fragments of human figures include 7 intact statues.

我懂了！謝謝 Pufa ^^

An archaeological excavation the site of a possible workshop.
連續兩個名詞。

不好意思 我有點不太懂 An archaeological excavation at the site of a possible workshop
沒有兩個名詞連在一起呀??
為什麼不行呢??
謝謝解惑!!!

是原題畫錯線了
畫線部份從what開始

cde錯是因為possible錯誤修飾workshop
ade的including也不對
因為前面 1532 fragments of human figures 是講破碎的東西
怎麼會包含 7 intact statues 完整的東西
所以講的是兩種不同的東西 要用and作連結

vivid的看法真是有見地
使我懂了不少唷...謝謝

Sorry...我不太董位什麼possible 誤修飾 workship
might have been不是也有"可能性大的假設"意思嗎
若解讀為 An archaeological excavation at the site that (=what) might have been a workship...和 the site of a possible workship... 有什麼不同?

誰幫我解開這個謎阿??

因為(C)(D)(E)裡的possible是修飾workshop....
但是題意是要說at what might have been a workshop可能是個workshop這個地點....
並非表達CDE中是可能的workshop....got it?
小弟淺見..謝謝指教

[A級垂耳兔]

我是認為因為might have been表示過去發生可能性小....
但possible應該是很有可能的....有改變句意之嫌....

可能發生而未發生的事

既然考古學家已經實際挖出了古物, 那這地點本身就沒什麼需要質疑. 到是. 這古物出土地點本身的特質/功能 才令人猜測

Thus, could it be possible that the answer should be C rather than B?

我也認為the site會讓人覺得是正確答案, 應為會讓人想到邏輯的問題 ..
考古挖掘會在哪呢？在建築物（workshop)，還是建築物所在的地點(the site of the workshop)？這樣思考的話會覺得the site好像比較正確。

不過might have been改成possible肯定是錯的
