Answer 1

the problem is that this process effectively shorten the window of time students have to make the most important decisions of their lives up to that point

句子主干如下

the problem is that this process effectively shorten the window of time

* is 为系动词作谓语，采用一般现在时。
* 第1个 that 为连词，引导表语从句。
* shorten 为表语从句谓语，采用虚拟语气

students have to make the most important decisions of their lives up to that point

* students 开头为定语从句，由于关系代词在从句内是宾语，所以 that 被省略。

追问

那up to that point怎么理解呢

您的意思是指students have 开始到后面都是定语从句吗？做time的定语？

追答

我在回答里已经说了，关系代词在从句内是做宾语，也就是正常的语序是students have the window of time to make the most important ......

up.to.that.point 是直到那一刻的意思，意思是到做决定的那一刻为止，学生们的时间不多

没问题请采纳

谢谢

好的，谢谢
