Answer 2

Answer:

The train took 26 minutes to travel the distance from City Hall - West 145th Street, which it normally covered in 30 minutes.

The explanation for this is:

The sentence contained two mistakes.

Instead of in under half an hour, say within half an hour.

Explanation:

A proximity error

Here, the train is mentioned using a relative pronoun rather than the route.

This is clear from using ran in thirty minutes.

As a result, which should come right after, close to, or proximate to the Precursor (train) that the Relative Pronoun alludes to.The train thus takes approx 30 mins.
