X reduce A to B, 这里的B 是什么成分？宾语？宾语补足语？

这个问题来自于OG13，2015版OG的第9题和第35题。希望大神帮忙解答。

In 1979 lack of rain reduced India's rice production to about 41 million tons, nearly 25 percent

---

(A) less than those of the 1978 harvest
(B) less than the 1978 harvest
(C) less than 1978
(D) fewer than 1978
(E) fewer than that of India's 1978 harvest

此题答案为B，逗号后面用的是LESS，可见修饰的是前面的RIce production， 而不是41million tons. X reduce A to B, 这里的B 是什么成分？宾语？宾语补足语？


By 1940,the pilot Jacqueline Cochran held seventeen official national and international speed records, and she earned them at a time when aviation was still so new for many of the planes she flew to be of dangerously experimental design.

(A) and she earned them at a time when aviation was still so new for many of the planes she flew to be
(B) earning them at a time when aviation was still so new for many of the planes she flew were
(C) earning these at a time where aviation was still so new such that many of the planes she flew were
(D) earned at a time in which aviation was still so new such that many of the planes she flew were
(E) earned at a time when aviation was still so new that many of the planes she flew were

此题答案为E， 可见earned开始修饰的是离逗号前句尾最近的records.


困惑的是:
这两题考的都是状语对吗？（感觉第二题后面半句有点像过去分词单独拉出来做定语><， 楼主语法底子太差了。分不清。）状语修饰的修饰原则是就近修饰嘛？为啥第一题不修饰那个TONS呢？
