泾渭不凡

The first shots of the American Revolution, fired at Lexington and Concord.  Massachusetts, were, according to legend, heard around the world,
but news of these shots, which were sent by swift messenger, took four days in reaching New York City as well as another additional eleven days
to reach Charleston, South Carolina.
A.    shots, which were sent by swift messenger, took four days in reaching New York City as well as another additional eleven days
B.    shots that was sent by swift messenger took four days in order to reach New York City, and also another eleven days
C.    shots that were sent by swift messenger took four days to reach New York City and another eleven days
D.    shots took four days by swift messenger in order to reach New York City and another eleven days in addition    
E.    shots took four days by swift messenger to reach New York City and another eleven days

正确答案E，本人选择B，首先在Prep中注明有：in order to相当于to do。其次原文中（即A中）有 be sent by，是否应该尊重原文不应该随意删减改变原文？与此条相比，B选项中的also和another的重复是否算是小错误，这样相对选择是不是应该选B呢？

个人感觉in order to 不能代替to do,而且B项中that修饰了前面紧邻的shots，但是逻辑上应该指news

首先，谢谢~
B中的that的确紧接shots，但是定语从句是可以跳跃修饰的，而且从句谓语是was，从而表明它（定于从句）修饰的是不可数名词news。
我也是觉得to do更好些，可是在prep前人分析中一直没有看到明确表明to do更加优于in order to，所以这边纠结中~~~

（1）b的was单复数错了。
（2）in order to 只能引导目的状语。而 to do 功能比这个多。
他和to do 在引导目的状语时意思上一样。
如果to do 也可以很好的表达目的，不会产生其他歧义。直接不定式简洁。
（3）prep笔记原句说法值得商榷。。有无数的反例可以推翻这个说法。
（4）这道题的修饰可以不用定语从句，不用被动。用了很wordy·
（5）这里take+ 时间 +to do 规定搭配  in order to 不行

万分感激啊，（2）~（5）很明确了，谢谢。这里弱弱的问一句：B中的was不是因为从句修饰的是news么？这样不是不会造成修饰对象不明确么？
不过由于本人很弱智的忘记了考察 take * to do，乱七八糟钻牛角尖。感激啊。
