44.   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

选D？

D

reduce后直接跟宾语the time

当当84

如果把D选项改成reduce the required time to assemble a Motor T from a day and a half to 93 mins. 还是正确的吗？

还有B选项的解释中“the comma is unnecessary" , 这里我理解的事from a day and a half to 93 min 是time 的同位语， 如果加上了标点，那么会造成歧义。

那个，改成你这样的我都不知道这句话的意思了。

提醒LZ，SC也要求逻辑合理。

why is "required" follow by "to" is correct, but follow by "of" is incorrect. Thank you.

把time放后面似乎也没错，但是一般定语后置的，因为会产生歧义：可能意思会理解为：为了assemble a .....而reduce the required time.

不懂“the comma is unnecessary" ，NN能具体解释下吗？！

顶,同样的问题!

字典里的确有require of sth的用法，具体参考牛津字典第六版，1474页。

难道说of 后面不能接-ing形式的动名词？

同理,require for sth.是正确的么?
