是不是that of 累赘了？

from后面的14在前面没有对应

I has nothing to do with rather than.

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；最关键的是，这道题目比较的是天数，而不是minium。如果选择c，变成了航空公司有两个minium，一个是7天的，一个是14天的；而题目的实际意思是把minium14天改成7天

A為什麽不對呢？就是因爲比E多了一個and,但這樣和前面的ows不是更對稱嗎？

sbbi

A本身就不是个句子呀.请找谓语动词

(E) also shortens the advance-purchase requirement for family travel to a minimum of seven days rather than
将the advance-purchase requirement for family travel 缩短至最小7天 而不是 14天    (并不知道以前是不是14天)

(D) also lessens the advance-purchase requirement for family travel to a seven-day minimum from

将the advance-purchase requirement for family travel从14天减少至最小7天     (但是from前后不对称,后面加一个minimum)    说明"以前是14天,现在是7天"

这一题从意思上来看过于怪异了, 但只要细细品味对称原则,是可以搞定它的

clara

不明白哎~

D哪里不对，“(但是from前后不对称,后面加一个minimum)    说明"以前是14天,现在是7天"

？？？？

请赐教啊
