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.

题目分析:根据划线外的trenches(复数)干掉B(B用yields),后面的but使得划线内外有了一个并列关系,就是simultaneously with和independently of形成的并列,不应该用but also(两者是对立关系),干掉C和D。也不能没有with,否则无法和后面的independently of形成对应。A和E一个在evidence后面用for一个用that,for表示为了这个社会的一个证据,而that出现证明后面的内容就是把evidence的内容说出来,显然是用that语义更合理。
