解析 The most reasonable interpretation of this sentence is that there is a recendy discovered site that was used as an observatory by the Anasazi, who were ancient pueblo dwellers of New Mexico. At this observatory, patterns of light and shadow were employed to establish the precise limits )f the Sun and Moon over a nineteen-year cycle.
The correct answer choice will clearly convey this idea. However, the sentence as worded does not do so. There is no clear indication of when the patterns of light and shadow were employed for the indicated purpose.
A    This choice is incorrect for the reason indicated above.
B    This choice suggests that the entire clause where patterns of light and shadow were employed to establish the precise limits of the positions ... actually modifies New Mexico rather than observatory.
C    Correct. This choice eliminates the above flaws; it clearly and cleanly conveys the intended idea.
D    This choice does not clearly convey the idea that the Anasazi used the site as an observatory, nor that they employed patterns of light and shadow for the purpose indicated.
E    This choice does not clearly convey the
idea that the Anasazi employed patterns of light and shadow for the purpose indicated. Furthermore, at a recently discovered place that the Anasazi. .. once used the site as an observatory unnecessarily inserts the site, which is redundant (With, place) and renders the sentence grammatically incorrect.
The correct answer is C.
