Q18:

The first shots of the American Revolution, fired at Lexington and Concord. Massachusetts, were, according to legend, heard around the world, but news of these shots, which were sent by swift messenger, took four days in reaching New York City as well as another additional eleven days to reach Charleston, South Carolina.

A shots, which were sent by swift messenger, took four days in reaching New York City as well as another additional eleven days
B shots that was sent by swift messenger took four days in order to reach New York City, and also another eleven days
C shots that were sent by swift messenger took four days to reach New York City and another eleven days
D shots took four days by swift messenger in order to reach New York City and another eleven days in addition
E shots took four days by swift messenger to reach New York City and another eleven days
答案是E,我选C.为什么是E?这里by swift messenger不是修饰take的？如果是E,那么by swift就修饰four days.如果by swift messager 放在took后，我觉得E就对了。是不是 sent by重复了？

A/B/C中的which/that指代错了。

that哪里指代错了？要是这样，那么by swift messager 修饰什么？

take sb. sometime to do sth.

此处的by ...是指通过（信使）...介词。

如果改成took swift messengers four days ....就对了。

干什么用那么大的字体？？？

多谢了！这样看来确实E比较好。用大字体是因为格式出错了。

that were sent by swift messenger 从句修饰news，所以复数were是错的。

但是D,E中的by swift messenger 作壮语，改变句子结构和重心，也应该是错的。

比较下来，只有B make sense

which与that 应该修饰news ，如果是A，B，C，应该会产生歧义。

支持C OG 中有好多A OF B THAT的指代例子， THAT 以逻辑意思而确定指代是A还是B，在次提中，所送当然是news了，很清楚，不回产生歧义

我剛開始看這題時也是先考慮到ABC中that和which修飾錯誤

可是後來也是想到og裡有很多A of B that/which 是修飾中心名詞A

但再看仔細一點還式覺得ABC這樣是比較不簡潔的用法

因為news of these shots 直接當作句子的主語 took 是谓語動詞

by shifting 表示以....方法傳遞

很漂亮的表準句型

而沒有必要去用that或是which從句去修飾News的用法

一點個人意見

請指教

C. 如果用定语从句that were sent by swift messenger, 那整个句子意思产生歧意，表示，那些通过swift messenger送的news用了4天到达纽约，言下之意也就是说，还有些news是通过其他方式传送的。所以C错。
