substantially

空格需要副詞 substantially 修飾 reduced,表示「大幅縮短」。substantial 是形容詞,substance 是名詞,substantiate 是動詞原形,皆無法放入此句的 has ____ reduced 結構。

同義改寫

The new filing system has substantially reduced the time needed to retrieve records. → The new filing system has greatly reduced the time needed to retrieve records.
此處 substantially 與 greatly 都表示縮短的幅度很大。
The revised training schedule is substantially the same as the previous version. → The revised training schedule is essentially the same as the previous version.
此處 substantially 與 essentially 都表示基本相同,容許有細微差異。
