Chinese labor, the Union Pacific employed crews of Irish laborers. (6)______
The two groups worked at remarkable speed, each tried to cover a (7)______
greater distance than the other. In 1869, they met at a place called

答案
∧the Union一while
解析
句法结构错误。此处前后两个句子表示对比:前句提到“The Central Pacific Company usedChinese labor”:后句提到“the Union Pacific em-ployed crews of Irish laborers”.故应使用while“而”来连接这两个句子。
