433, sec21-14

A,B都没有谓语的.shortens是从句的谓语.

C有三个错误，首先that指代不清，前面有两个单数名词，requirement和minimum；其次罗索, rather than前后要有平行的内容就行, 这里fourteen清楚的表明是fourteen days, 前面的a minimum of 用that of代替显得多余, 可省；

D. from... to... 的顺序是不能改的(这个观点不敢肯定,说尽量不改比较好)。7d minimum不知道能不能这样用，即使能，也应该是from 14d minimum to 7d minimum. 这里to a seven-day minimum from fourteen省略了minimum, 这样省略依据似乎不足, 意思表达不完整。实际至少要表达的意思是from a fourteen-day minimum to a seven-day minimum.

E. best.

对的，a minimum of sth, a lot of sth都只是一种量词，并不是所有格形式。比较对象对称原则中补出的that或those一定要有明确指代对象。

我印象中from   to 的位置是可以改的，在PREP中好像有这样的题，还请NN们确认一下，谢谢
D 的错误在于那minimum和fourteen比较了。
