标题: 这题做错了，请教
Rivaling the pyramids of Egypt or even the ancient cities of the Maya as an achievement, the army of terra-cotta warriors created to protect Oin Shi Huang, China's first emperor, in his afterlife is more than 2.000 years old and took 700.000 artisans more than 36 years to complete.

(A) the army of terra-cotta warriors created to protect Qin Shi Huang, China's first emperor, in his afterlife is more than 2,000 years old and took 700,000 artisans more than 36 years to complete (答案是A)
(B) Qin Shi Huang, China's first emperor, was protected in his afterlife by an army of terra-cotta warriors that was created more than 2,000 years ago by 700,000 artisans who took more than 36 years to complete it
(C) it took 700,000 artisans more than 36 years to create an army of terra-cotta warriors more than 2,000 years ago that would protect Qin Shi Huang, China's first emperor, in his afterlife
(D) more than 2,000 years ago, 700,000 artisans worked more than 36 years to create an army of terra-cotta warriors to protect Qin Shi Huang, China's first emperor, in his afterlife
(E) more than 36 years were needed to complete the army of terra-cotta warriors that 700,000 artisans created 2,000 years ago to protect Qin Shi Huang, China's first emperor, in his afterlife

我错误选了B，因为一看到rivaling我就认为只有人做主语才能rival；后来查到Rivaling是竞争的意思，那么理解人不能和其他七大奇迹竞争。但是我的几个问题(都是影响到我判断的或者不清楚的)：
1. 物和物之间能rival吗？
2. Rivaling clause是做伴随状语吗？还是做adj 修饰主句主语？
3. 为什么强调as an achievement?
4. B 选项中，who took more than 36 years to complete it具体语法错误是什么？我知道这个错了，因为it指代的是an army of terra-cotta warriors，在后置modifier中to complete it不合理，但是我说不出这个在语法上算什么错误？请指教一下。

rival类似于系动词，所以应该是同类的，不能说Qin超过了pyramids of Egypt，应该是兵马俑的，也就是the army of terra-cotta warriors.

The structure is named OPEN PHRASE, modifying the subject of the following sentence.

sth. take sb. several years to complete，如果后面跟上it，就redundant了，你体会下，sth. take sb. several years to complete sth

谢谢。那么这一段文字语法上应该改成这样才对吧。既保证平行又用到正确结构，原来的错误应该是结构不平行，who 之后的成分应该描述artisan而不应该描述主句的内容took how long to compete it，it多余。

an army of terra-cotta warriors that was created more than 2,000 years ago by 700,000 artisans who took more than 36 years to complete it

an army of terra-cotta warriors that was created more than 2,000 years ago and took 700,000 artisans more than 36 years to complete.

原句完美的平行，其实，原句就是描述兵马俑用了两个平行结构，the army is ... years old and took .. year to complete，简洁明确
