题目分析：
略。

选项分析：

A选项：定语从句that indicates a child's acquiring language, thinking, and emotional skills中的谓语动词Indicates是单数，但是它在逻辑上的先行词应是复数名词findings，这造成了主谓一致的错误。
第二，indicate a child's acquiring language, thinking, and emotional skills as an active process应该为indicate that a child's acquisition of language, thinking, and emotional skills is an active process，这点考查了不定式和从句的区别。值得注意的是，宾语和宾补之间均可以看作省略的to be，例如：
I put a book on the table.
这句话可以看作：
I put a book to be on the table. 
因此，本选项可以近似看作：
indicate a child's acquiring language, thinking, and emotional skills to be as an active process
在逻辑上，由于谓语动词indicate的约束力较弱，所以应该用宾语从句。

B选项：本选项定语从句的主干为：
new findings are indicative.
这是不正确的，应该是“新的发现揭示了一个事实”，而不是“新的发现是象征性的(indicative)”。

C选项：不定式短语to Indicate应改为ing短语indicating，这点考查了不定式和ing的区别，用之于本题，“克林顿开了一整天关于新发现的会议”不会导致“新的发现揭示一个事实”这个事件的发生或停止（不论是否开会宣布新发现，它都在那里），因此，应该用ing短语。

D选项：Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。

E选项：indicative是形容词，如果要修饰名词findings只能放在名词前面，不能放在名词身后，例如：
handsome boys
**boys handsome
第二个例子是不正确的，形容词做名词定语时，必须前置于名词。
