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

我是这么想的，E只修饰了一个，改变了意思，那为什么B错呢？？？

b:that was, in order to太累赘了

答案是e吗？

that 做限制性定语从句修饰shots,但是主句意思是news,所以b错。

选d吧？

支持选E

D除了in order to<to之外 in addition也有歧义 有可能在补充and修饰 eleven days 也有可能在修饰to reach C
