这题是考对于简洁原理的理解。按ETS的说法，只要去掉之后不影响意思的理

解，没有语法错误的情况下，可简洁就简洁。

对于这道题目，就象wyks mm说的那样，补充完整的那两种说法也是可以的，但是

既便是把这两种说法放在选项中，最好也还是选省略的”简洁“说法。

问题在于RATHER THAN的考察重点（不同于MORE THAN， AS...AS等）在

于对称，而非简化指代。

完整的应该是：

TO A MINIMUM OF SEVEN DAYS RATHER THAN TO A MINIMUM OF FOURTEENDAYS

或者：

TO A MINIMUM OF SEVEN DAYS RATHER THAN FOURTEEN （DAYS）

其前后应该完全一致。
