GWD TN24 17-40 学渣求助

The computer company’s present troubles are a result of technological stagnation, marketing missteps, and managerial blunders so that several attempts to revise corporate strategies have failed to correct it.

A.        so that several attempts to revise corporate strategies have failed to correct it.
B.        so that several attempts at revising corporate strategies have failed to correct.
C.        in that several attempts at revising corporate strategies have failed to correct them.
D.        that several attempts to revise corporate strategies have failed to correct.
E.        that several attempts at revising corporate strategies have failed to correct them.

这题我在DE里面纠结了一会，选了E，因为them是指代manegerial blunders，但是解释说them是多余，为什么啊。
是不是从句里面的关系代词已经指代了那个名词，所以就不需要代词了？
如果不是从句，在哪些情况下是不能省略代词呢。
谢谢各位大牛们！

首先，我觉得E选项attempts at就是错的，我只听说过attempts to do.
然后，这道题让我想起了讲秦始皇兵马俑的那道题，不知道楼主有没有做过，最后结尾的complete也是不用加代词的。
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 them.

A took 700,000 artisans more than 36 years to complete them （当不定式修饰其逻辑宾语时，不定式的后面是不能带宾语的：这个句子里to complete做状语修饰动词took和其逻辑主语是the army of terra-cotta warriors，所以其后面不能再带宾语；them与所指对象the army of terra-cotta warriors单复数不一致。）
B took 700,000 artisans more than 36 years to complete it （it必须省略，原因如A。）
C√ took 700,000 artisans more than 36 years to complete
D 700,000 artisans took more than 36 years to complete （700,000 artisans重新引出新的句子，and前缺少逗号，形式上是造成了run-on sentence；同时因为主语不一致，complete后面应该加宾语it来指代the army of terra-cotta warriors。）
E to complete them took 700,000 artisans more than 36 years （to complete提前使句式awkward；them与所指对象the army of terra-cotta warriors单复数不一致。）
那么同理，推理到这道题来，可能也是一样的原因，就是不定式修饰其逻辑宾语时，不定式的后面是不能带宾语的

OPEN TO DISCUSSION
