Rivaling the pyramids of Egypt or even the ancient cities of the Maya as an achievement, the army of terra-cotta warriors created to protect Qin Shi Huang, China’s first emperor, in his afterlife is more than 2,000 years old and took 700,000 artisans more than 36 years to complete them.

 

1. took 700,000 artisans more than 36 years to complete them
2. took 700,000 artisans more than 36 years to complete it
3. took 700,000 artisans more than 36 years to complete
4. 700,000 artisans took more than 36 years to complete
5. to complete them too 700,000 artisans more than 36 years

我选的是C，但答案给的是B，好像不太对。

主句应该是
                the army is … old and took … to complete,

而B的主句是the army is … old and took … to complete it.

各位有没有什么高见，觉得是B对还是C对？

句子的主干应该是：

..., the army of t-t created ...and took...

B选项加上it，表述的更清楚。it直接指代the army... 如果没有it，表达不够清楚，不知道花了这么时间用了这么多人完成了什么。

不太赞同楼上的意见.

这个主干应该是The army of terra-cotta warriors是主语, created to protect Qin Shi Huang是修饰这个army的,即

The army of terra-cotta warriors, which was created to protect Qin Shi Huang

接下来是两个平行的谓语,即

is more than 2,000 years old

and took … to complete.

有个基本的语法我记得应该是例如

The road took three years to complete.

或者It took three years to complete the road,

但不能说The road took three years to complete it.

套用到这个句子应该是The army took … to complete,不应该是 to complete it.

所以不知道为什么答案选的是B.

本题出自那个13套样题,里面有不少答案好像都是有问题的,

所以很怀疑这个题目的答案有问题.
