(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
(B) Qin Shi Huang, China’s first emperor, was protected in his afterlife by an army of terracotta warriors that was created more than 2,000 years ago by 700,000 artisans who took more than 36 years to complete it

我的问题是B选项中，to complete it， it是不是多余，为什么？
OG解释：
Logical predication; Rhetorical construction
The opening modifier, Rivaling the pyramids . . . describes the army of terra-cotta
warriors, which must immediately follow the modifier. The placement of the
predicates that follow is important; they must clarify two things about the army of
terra-cotta warriors: how old it is and how long it took to complete. The clearest
and most effective way to express these two assertions is as parallel verb phrases,
is more than 2,000 years old and took . . . more than 36 years to complete.
A Correct. The opening phrase correctly modifies the subject, the army of
terra-cotta warriors; the placement of modifiers and predicates in the main
clause makes the meaning of the sentence clear.
B Opening phrase is a dangling modifier because it does not describe the
subject Qin Shi Huang; in addition, the sentence is awkward and unclear.
C Opening phrase is a dangling modifier because it does not describe the
subject it; the sequence of information presented is confusing and unclear.
D Opening phrase is a dangling modifier because it does not describe the
subject 700,000 artisans.
E Opening phrase is a dangling modifier because it does not describe the
subject more than 36 years.
