这道题我看很多大牛的心经， 比如elory 的语法笔记，里面说CDE 里面的in his afterlife 放置无意义。。求解为什么in his afterlife在这里无意义。。。。

这道题只需一个知识点就可以解题：comparison。因为amry of terra-cotta rivaling pyramid and ancient cities所以划线句子的主语就应该是对等的兵马俑。那么只有A选项的主语是兵马俑，所以秒选A。

我个人是这么想的
In +名词 我觉得有两个作用1）对前面名词的修饰2）作为插入语。
回归到题目，CDE中in his afterlife是一个介词形式出现
1）如果是对前面名词的修饰的话，那么由于其前面有插入语，修饰对象不清晰（这个的感觉暂时无法清晰的写不出来，你体会下）
2）作为插入语的话，这个结构在句末了，插入语的功能体现不出来。而且一般同位语后是句子的结束。那么In his afterlife就更显得作用不大了。
3）如果需要它有意义的，我觉得应该把这结构接近其修饰对象

Rivaling the pyramids of Egypt or even the ancient cities of the Maya as an achievement个人认为只有兵马俑才可以作它的逻辑主语，其他的选项感觉主语没有这个这么清晰
