GWD-12-Q31:

Emily Dickinson’s letters to Susan Huntington Dickinson were written over a period beginning a few years before Susan’s marriage to Emily’s brother and ending shortly before Emily’s death in 1886, outnumbering her letters to anyone else.

1. Dickinson were written over a period beginning a few years before Susan’s marriage to Emily’s brother and ending shortly before Emily’s death in 1886, outnumbering
2. Dickinson were written over a period that begins a few years before Susan’s marriage to Emily’s brother and ended shortly before Emily’s death in 1886, outnumber

5. Dickinson, which were written over a period beginning a few years before Susan’s marriage to Emily’s brother and ending shortly before Emily’s death in 1886, outnumber

答案是E，我的问题是为什么A不对啊？

XIAOSHAONIAN

A从语法上看好像没有错误的。但AE相比还是E更好。

A的outnumbering分词作伴随状语，伴随的是主句谓语动词were written，逻辑上有点说不通，被写的时候outnumber？应该是letters（写完的那一堆吧）outnumber...

另外，outnumbering前面还有两个分词结构beginning, ending，三个有并列的嫌疑，句子结构表达不太清楚。

仅供参考。
