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 it
        

B是正确的

主语：the army 【of terra-cotta warriors 】

定语：created to protect Qin Shi Huang

定语中Qin Shi Huang的同谓语： China’s first emperor

状语：in his afterlife

谓语: is more than

took 700,000 artisans more than 36 years to complete it 中的it指代的是the army

因为主语离的太远了，宾语不加很难理解意思。

另外两句并列句，属于主语一致，

定语肯定不是created to protect，定语应该是took

我同意，sth takes someboy sometime to complete it是完全符合语法的

这里的it也不存在指代不清的问题

支持C，不用it。

LDOCE地complete中有这样的例句：

The building took two years to complete.

呵呵，难道GMAT语法与此有出入？

这里因为主语很近，所以it省略了。 这句话如果不省略it也是对的，不能因为可以省略是对的就说不省略是错的

看这道OG:

234. The physical structure of the human eye enables it to sense light of wavelengths up to 0.0005 millimeters; infrared radiation, however, is invisible because its wavelength—0.1 millimeters—is too long to be registered by the eye.

(A) infrared radiation, however, is invisible because its wavelength—0.1 millimeters—is too long to be registered by the eye

(B) however, the wavelength of infrared radiation—0.1 millimeters—is too long to be registered by the eye making it invisible

(C) infrared radiation, however, is invisible because its wavelength—0.1 millimeters—is too long for the eye to register it

(D) however, because the wavelength of infrared radiation is 0.1 millimeters, it is too long for the eye to register and thus invisible

(E) however, infrared radiation has a wavelength of 0.1 millimeters that is too long for the eye to register, thus making it invisible

Choice A, the best answer, is clear, idiomatic, and grammatically correct. In B, the misplaced participial phrase making it invisible modifies eye rather than wavelength, thus producing a confusing statement that distorts the meaning. In C, D, and E the use of the second it is so imprecise as to be confusing. Furthermore, in D, and thus invisible incorrectly modifies wavelength rather than infrared radiation. Choice E produces an illogical statement by using a restrictive clause introduced by that where a comma followed by the nonrestrictive “which” is required: a wavelength of 0.1 millimeters that is too long nonsensically suggests that not all wavelengths of 0.1 millimeters are too long for the eye to register.

it in C is imprecise.

支持原题C正确。

支持原题C正确。

支持原题C正确。

呵呵，今天我正好做大全也做到这道题。这里的it不行，不是因为语法不同，而是因为指代不清楚，因为这个it可以指infrared radiation也可以指wavelengh, 所以OG解释里面用了 E the use of the second it is so imprecise as to be confusing. 而并没有说E是unidiomatic。

而OG11里面也清楚把这道题归纳为 考察Logical predication，我觉得也是指的这里。OG11里面说It is ambiguous and lacks a clear referent而并没有说it不应该出现在这里。

支持这个说法！

我觉得多读几遍其义自现啊！多个it也很通顺！而且意思的表达更加清楚！

LZM 的书P97叶说明了不定式做逻辑宾语的情况：

1。不定式的动词是及物的，后不能接宾语。I lent him a book to read.

2。不定式的动词是不及物的，后面需用介词，不加宾语。

can you find us some records to listen to?

这样看来，complete是及物动词，我认为C正确。

这里to complete是做逻辑宾语吗~~~~~~？？

真是茫然阿~~~~~

为什么gwd有这么多有质疑的题目啊~~~好浪费时间啊~

有哪位nn可以指点一下gwd是必选的复习材料吗？如果不是那除og以外在做那套题比较好呢？

初来乍到~~~~~~拜托拜托~~~~~

我也是最初选了C，因为句子主干就是：the army is more than 2,000 years old and took 700,000 artisans more than 36 years to complete (it).

按理说it存在也是有道理的，不要it呢，也不能说错。
