New equipment and other improvements reduced the amount of time—from eleven hours in 1982 to six in 1988—needed by workers so that they could produce a ton of steel.

A. needed by workers so that they could produce

B. needed when workers are producing

C. workers need in producing

D. workers needed to produce

E. workers need for their producing of

请问B错在哪里?

D是在前面省略that吗?同位语从句?

balabaladou7

B。time needed by worker 表达idiomatic; when从句改变句意。are producing语态荒谬。

D.正确。Worker need (time) to produce. 定语从句中被修饰词做宾语。

这句话应该是可以把破折号中间的部分去掉不看
New equipment and other improvements reduced the amount of time needed by workers so that they could produce a ton of steel.
请问a的错误就是因为they是不能指代workers吗？

balabaladou7

A. time needed by worker 表达idiomatic; so that引发歧义，是New equipment and other improvements在produce。

这道题我还有个疑问，是NEED的用法。need time in doing sth.可以么？

songlovegt

Longman 上没有 need sth. in doing sth. 用法

正确用法
need sth. for sth.
need sth to do

    they 不是可以就近指代workers 吗？怎么还会有歧义？

并不觉得A中的they有指代上的歧义 第一错在time needed by workers第二错在so that 因为so that其实就是表示因果的 Longman上有解释 但是这个句子逻辑意思上根本没有体现出合理的因果

我也赞同a项they没有歧义，needed by workers错是因为句意上说不过去么？“被工人需要”。。。

删除破折号部分，后面是前面的同位语，同位语从句that可省么？我有点糊涂了。不过按照句意原则，这题确实就选d
