prep 168 一道题，关于took的~

Alice爱学习

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)

E.shots took four days by swift messenger to reach New York City and another eleven days


就是这道题啦，@annieNN，还有一个小问题，关于svo的~
您看E哈，这个的意思是说took应该是but后半觉的谓语，可是我总觉得，news怎么能主动的用took做谓语呢？
可是如果took是过去分词，那么but后半句话就没有谓语了呀~
NN您看看我的问题出在了哪里，谢谢您啦

A.shots, which were sent by swift messenger, took four days in reaching New York City as well as another additional eleven days

被send的只能是news，用 were错

B.shots that was sent by swift messenger took four days in order to reach New York City, and also another eleven days
in order to使用有问题，and 觉得这里用的也有问题
C.shots that were sent by swift messenger took four days to reach New York City and another eleven days
same as A
D.shots took four days by swift messenger in order to reach New York City and another eleven days in addition

In order to 有问题，another， in addition to ，用在这里wordy

E.shots took four days by swift messenger to reach New York City and another eleven days



Best answer，news 花费4天被运送到达 NY，没有问题呀。
took在这里是动词。你可要查查take 的用法。
我没有指出所有问题，只是我自己的做题思路。。。
还有就是你不应该@我，第一，我收不到（嘿嘿，还得你站内信）第二，你应该希望更多的NN帮你解答；第三，我不是NN哈。

谢谢annie姐姐啦~
那姐姐您的意思是说news可以主动的发出took这个动词？
可是既然是主动的，为什么还要用by swift messenger 呢，我觉得有类似by sb的东西就应该是被动的呀，而且news不是人，所以它怎么可能主动地发出动作呢？

ainiAnnie

是news被运送这件事花费时间，而不是news花费时间，所以才要被动语态。
举一个高中经常举的例子：
it took me three hours to finish my homework.
it 是形式主语，是指 finish my homework 这件事花费了我三个小时。

同样很疑惑，为啥news可以主动took 4 days to reach NY??

A.shots, which were sent by swift me ...

1---I went home by bike .  这里是借助，某种方式，并不一定表被动
2---sth takes xxx to do sth。
