GWD18---Q18 没有理由啊！！！

首先明确 sent by swift messenger是修饰news的，应该用was, 然后是 take xx days to do,  而不是in order to.

A which were 应该是was; to reach instead of in reading; another和additional 互相重复
B in order to 错
C that were应该是that was，
D in order to 错

我来说下正解，首先C的that是没有歧义的，OG上有无数的例子证明A of B that...既可以修饰A也可以修饰B，而且绝对不会以此来判定句子修饰歧义。
C的错误是news是不可数名词，所以。。。were错误
