Excavators at the Indus Valley site of Harappa in eastern Pakistan say the discovery of inscribed shards dating to circa 2800-2600 B.C. indicate their development of a Harappan writing system, the use of inscribed seals impressed into clay for marking ownership, and the standardization of weights for trade or taxation occurred many decades, if not centuries, earlier than was previously believed.

题目分析：
本题看起来着重考查了平行，实则不尽然。我们需要仔细看清本题的所有考点才能做出这道题目的真正意义来。请注意，本题中indicate的宾语是一个从句，宾语从句的引导词that是可以省略的，不触及语法错误。
选项分析：
A选项：谓语动词indicate的主语是the discovery of inscribed shards dating to circa 2800-2600 B.C.，其核心词为单数名词discovery。因此，indicate应改为indicates。
另外，代词their的指代对象为inscribed shards，虽然指代没有问题，但是其会使得语意上产生偏差。their development of a Harappan writing system的意思是：碎片所拥有的关于写作系统的发展。我们只能说，是这些碎片揭示了了写作系统的发展，不能说碎片的发展。
B选项：indicate应改为indicates，该错误同(A)；另外请注意，本选项在语法上的平行是没有问题的。using inscribed seals impressed into clay for marking ownership可以看作动名词短语。在功能上和两个纯名词短语是完全平行的（见：功能平行）。但是，语法虽然正确，逻辑上不正确。这点考查了“名词和动名词的区别”。用之于本题，显然地，被发掘出的碎片不会在展现用雕刻技术的过程了，只能展现的是结果。因此，不能用动名词短语。
C选项：代词their错误同(A)；using错误同(B)。
D选项：代词their错误同(A)。
E选项：Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
老师，请问indicate后面宾语从句的谓语动词是occur吗？
还有discovery可以indicate development吗？还是用indicate that比较合适
(1) 是的。
(2) 这是考点之一啊。从语法上来说，indicate的宾语可以是名词，也可以是从句。
