Furthermore, the use is redundant as explained below. &nbsp;Lets consider the sentence with only verb 2 and with the pronoun replaced by the noun it refers to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The army of terra-cotta warriors took 700,000 artisans more than 36 years to complete the army of terra-cotta warriors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you can see the noun \u2013 army of terra-cotta warriors is unnecessarily repeated. &nbsp;Lets consider a simpler sentence to understand this better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The dinner took Mary 2 hours to cook <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">the dinner<\/span>. \u2013 <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Incorrect<\/span><\/li><li>The dinner took Mary 2 hours to cook. \u00a0\u2013<span style=\"color: #339966;\">Correct<\/span><\/li><li>It took Mary 2 hours to cook the dinner. \u00a0\u2013 <span style=\"color: #339966;\">Correct<\/span><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><strong><em>Loved the solution? <a href=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/ft-gmat\/?channel=blogsin_article&amp;utm_source=blogs&amp;utm_medium=in_article&amp;utm_campaign=free_trial&amp;utm_content=gmat&amp;utm_term=blogs_in_article_ctrl_gmat_test_date\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\">Take a free trial<\/a>&nbsp;to&nbsp;get unlimited access to concept files, live sessions, and practice questions.&nbsp;For any strategic advice for GMAT or MBA Admissions, write to us at&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:acethegmat@e-gmat.com\">acethegmat@e-gmat.com<\/a>.
