20. 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 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 them.

A. took 700,000 artisans more than 36 years to complete them

B. took 700,000 artisans more than 36 years to complete it

C. took 700,000 artisans more than 36 years to complete

D. 700,000 artisans took more than 36 years to complete

E. to complete them too 700,000 artisans more than 36 years

请问took 的主词是谁…是兵马俑吗,但是物怎么能took….

还有为什么不用加it

C

这是个习惯表达。

you can see the following example sentence in Longman :

The building took two years to complete.

hoho，不好意思，因为实在读着少it的句子不爽，找出我不怎么用的Webster字典查了下，对不起，在complete做动词项目里只看到vt，对它的解释有3条，但是就是没看到有vi的解释，不相信的同志们最好自己动手翻一翻，对记忆最好了，不是不相信郎文，但是我记得ETS只以W字典为参考，所以严重质疑此题

BTW，记忆中真的搜寻不出complete不跟宾语的句子，不是自己查一下我也向这个例子投降了，但是真的没有vi的解释，请教大侠

我的理解，这是个主动表被动的表达，complete的逻辑宾语就是the army of terra-cotta warriors ，由于它已经作了主语，所以如果加了it,即：the army.. complete..it, it 又指the army,不通，错误。

这么说觉得懂了，谢谢

好奇怪,这题答案是b啊, 你可以搜索一下

嗯，我想可不可以将句子中的代词it还原为army,再念念这个句子，

army....took ...to complete the army.

代词只是为了简便，我想还原后看是不是更清楚？

呵呵，虽然已经是多年前的帖子了，觉得这个看法也许用得上就说了。

open to discuss!

GMAT中尽量不用代词,风险太大

同意flyingceleste

伟氏上标明只做transitive用，不放心又回头查了薄冰语法，信心是一样的。

it作为complete的宾语，指代前面的army，不能省略。

我选C
