A rapid means of long-distance transportation became a necessity for

California eastward to a meeting point so as to complete a transcontinental
system. The Central Pacific Company, starting from California, used Chinese labor,
the Union Pacific employed crews of Irish laborers. 【S6】 ________
The two groups worked at remarkable speed, each tried to cover a 【S7】 ________
greater distance than the other. In 1869, they met at a place called

【S7】
选项
答案
tried→trying
解析
句法结构错误。由The two groups及each和the other可知,tried的逻辑主语是The two groups(两个公司的人),因此应将tried改成表主动的现在分词trying,构成独立主格结构,在句中作状语。
