题目分析:整句话的主语是“the army of terra-cotta warriors”,其发出两个动作:1. is more than 2000 years old,即超过两千岁了;2. 花费了工匠超过36年去完成
选项分析:
A选项:首先,them没有合理指代,工匠完成的是“the army of terra-cotta warriors”,其核心成分是army,单数。
其次,complete后面加代词是多余的,主语已经是兵马俑了,complete后面再加指代兵马俑的代词就变成了“兵马俑花费了工匠36年去完成兵马俑”,很明显这是很啰嗦的。
B选项:complete后面加it,错误同A。
C选项:正确
D选项:此时并列的不再是兵马俑做的两件事,而是完整的两句话,即独立的两件事。1. 兵马俑超过2000岁了;2. 7000个工匠花了超过36年去完成。很明显,第二句话没有说完,完成什么了呢?此时,第二句话和兵马俑没有任何联系了。
E选项:them指代错误同A。
选项D的and后面为另一句话,to complete what?
