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
答案是E，我在其他论坛上看的讨论说答案也是E，但我对他们的解释表示怀疑
他们认为C不对的理由是THAT WERE修饰的是SHOTS。但他们忽视了前面的NEWS 。这个短语的中心词是NEWS，我清楚的记得做过几道题目，A OF B THAT修饰的是A。
E的BY SWIFT MESSENGER没有一个配套的动词，TOOK的主语是NEWS OF SHOTS，主动发出的的动作接一个“被..”说不通，怎么着也只能 TAKE SOMEBODY SOMETIME TO DO STH。
