49.  The automotive conveyor-belt system, which Henry Ford modeled after an assembly-line technique introduced by Ransom Olds, reduced from a day and a half to 93 minutes the required time of assembling a Model T.
(A) from a day and a half to 93 minutes the required time of assembling a Model T
(B) the time being required to assemble a Model T, from a day and a half down to 93 minutes
(C) the time being required to assemble a Model T, a day and a half to 93 minutes
(D) the time required to assemble a Model T from a day and a half to 93 minutes
(E) from a day and a half to 93 minutes, the time required for the assembling of a Model T

The underlined portion of the original sentence is awkward because the verb reduced is followed by a prepositional phrase rather than the direct object time.  Changing this structure so that the object immediately follows the verb, reduced the time, also allows an idiomatic error to be corrected.
这是OG里的题，OG解释说宾语应该紧跟在reduced后边，但是我在刚才做prep08的时候发现了这道题

By merging its two publishing divisions, the company will increase their share of the country's $21 billion book market from 6 percent to 10 percent, a market ranging from obscure textbooks to mass-market paperbacks.
A. their share of the country's $21 billion book market from 6 percent to 10 percent, a market ranging
B. from 6 percent to 10 percent its share of the $21 billion book market in the country, which ranges
C. to 10 percent from 6 percent in their share of the $21 billion book market in the country, a market ranging
D. in its share, from 6 percent to 10 percent, of the $21 billion book market in the country, which ranges
E. to 10 percent from 6 percent its share of the country's $21 billion book market, which ranges
答案是E
我想问一下这是怎么回事，我有点晕菜了。。。

个人感觉：
1 第一题reduce 后面之所以不用 from的原因是因为 ：+介词比较awkward，同时，直接加宾语的选项，没有任何语法错误。
 要知道 awkward 这个判断标准不是绝对错误  是在比较过程中，没有绝对错误情况下，才使用的选择更好选项的方法~
2 第二题之所以没有直接选择A +宾语 their share XX 而选择了E项  是因为： 即使 +介词比较awkward， A项后面的“persent ， a market ranging XX” 远不如E的“market, which ranges” 结构好，这是一个硬伤，也就是绝对错误。
因此在此情况下，选择E不选A

恩恩，明白你的意思了。应该是我之前的而理解错了，我把awkward当做绝对错误了，然后就直接把他们咔嚓掉了。。。
谢谢你的解释~~~

第49题，补充一下，OG里头关于reduce后面喜欢直接加宾语，在于reduce这个词，只可以做及物动词。这也是为什么OG里头说的E项的comma是多余的：E项把逗号去掉，the time 是reduce的宾语，由于插入了from..to...的结构，所以后置了，不要误以为the time是前面93 minutes的同位语。

关于reduce只可以做及物动词的帖子可以参考如下链接：
