第一次做 GWD...I am totally confused by this standard answer B. C 明显就是符合语法规则,C突然多个it,我们却得为之解释是因为主语太远... 突然感觉这个考试还真无聊. 怪不得跟老外讲要考到700以上, 人家都睁大双眼看. 也许小女理解还不到家...哎, 俺就 以OG为本,OG为本.GWD为练习感觉...
It's easy for you to say B is correct, and "it" cannot be omit after learning that B is the correct answer, but to be honest, if similar question, not the exactly the same one appear in the exam, I probably would choose C again!
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.
"Is more than 2,000 years old" 只是一个并列的成分. and前后的主语都是the army. 所以,the army took....to comete "it", 这个it是多余的。不能因为前面修饰成分多导致complete离它的逻辑宾语远而加一个it.
