※ 引述《life2002 (dog days)》之銘言：
: 想請教一下這題
: Q18:
: 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.
: C) shots that were sent by swift messenger took four days to reach
: New York City and another eleven days
: E) shots took four days by swift messenger to reach New York City
: and another eleven days
: 這題我覺得怪怪的
: 原則上我是選C 可是答案寫E
: 我覺得took four days by swift messenger根本就不對阿....
: 不是應該會是took swift messenger four days?
: 請各位高人指教!!
首先C news of these shots "that were" sent that 指代 shots 不符合邏輯
messenger不會送shots， 再者 news 為不可數名詞，所以這邊that清楚指代
shots 。
E 我是這樣看 把 by swift messenger 看做插入用法
所以一樣就是 took four days ... to reach
另外C 是被動用法 我覺得主動比較好
open to discuss
