Rivaling the pyramids of Egypt or even the ancient cities of the Maya as an achievement, the army of terra-cotta warriors created to protect Qin Shi Huang, China’s first emperor, in his afterlife is more than 2,000 years old and took 700,000 artisans more than 36 years to complete them.

A. took 700,000 artisans more than 36 years to complete them
B. took 700,000 artisans more than 36 years to complete it
C. took 700,000 artisans more than 36 years to complete
D. 700,000 artisans took more than 36 years to complete
E. to complete them too 700,000 artisans more than 36 years

I think "the army of terra-cotta warriors created to protect Qin Shi Huang" should be "the army of terra-cotta warriors was created to protect Qin Shi Huang"

Hi trustkip,

This sentence is built on Modification and Parallelism rules; the "subject" of this sentence is "the army of terra-cotta warriors created to protect Qin Shi Huang", and since it's NOT underlined, we can't change it. Since we have to follow proper Parallelism rules, the phrase "is more than 2,000 years old" must be followed by "took 700,000 artisans more than 36 years to complete."

Final Answer: C

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

Please check OG 13 SC Problem 62.

This is just another version of the SC.

This is a sentence which opens with the modifier - Rivaling..... - the army of terra-cotta warriors
created is a acting as an adjective(participle) (VerbED), and modifying warriors.

I hope it helps
