49. The automotive conveyor-belt system, which Henry Ford modeled after an assembly-line technique introduced by Ransom Olds, reduced from a day and a half to 93 minutes the required time of assembling a Model T. (A) from a day and a half to 93 minutes the required time of assembling a Model T (B) the time being required to assemble a Model T, from a day and a half down to 93 minutes (C) the time being required to assemble a Model T, a day and a half to 93 minutes (D) the time required to assemble a Model T from a day and a half to 93 minutes (E) from a day and a half to 93 minutes, the time required for the assembling of a Model T
The underlined portion of the original sentence is awkward because the verb reduced is followed by a prepositional phrase rather than the direct object time. Changing this structure so that the object immediately follows the verb, reduced the time, also allows an idiomatic error to be corrected. 这是OG里的题，OG解释说宾语应该紧跟在reduced后边，但是我在刚才做prep08的时候发现了这道题
By merging its two publishing divisions, the company will increase their share of the country's $21 billion book market from 6 percent to 10 percent, a market ranging from obscure textbooks to mass-market paperbacks. A. their share of the country's $21 billion book market from 6 percent to 10 percent, a market ranging B. from 6 percent to 10 percent its share of the $21 billion book market in the country, which ranges C. to 10 percent from 6 percent in their share of the $21 billion book market in the country, a market ranging D. in its share, from 6 percent to 10 percent, of the $21 billion book market in the country, which ranges E. to 10 percent from 6 percent its share of the country's $21 billion book market, which ranges 答案是E 我想问一下这是怎么回事，我有点晕菜了。。。
第49题，补充一下，OG里头关于reduce后面喜欢直接加宾语，在于reduce这个词，只可以做及物动词。这也是为什么OG里头说的E项的comma是多余的：E项把逗号去掉，the time 是reduce的宾语，由于插入了from..to...的结构，所以后置了，不要误以为the time是前面93 minutes的同位语。
