我不知道OG的具体解释是什么
不过我们可以具体分析一下这两个选项 A和 E
A选项的文章主干是这样的
ED's letters were written over a peiod, outnumbering her letters to anyone else.
而E选项的文章主干是这样的
ED's letters, which were written over a period, outnumber her letters to anyone else.

所以A选项的主要意思是 ED给SH的信是在某个period写的
而E选项的核心意思是 ED给SH的信比她给别人的信要多

这里我就要给大家一个我个人相对比较主观的说法了
那就是项比较与A选项和E选项，E选项的逻辑表达更好
为什么这么说呢？
因为我们的GMAT SC的考察目的是考察考生 准确 简洁 有效 的表达，这里我们抛开准确性不说，因为这一部分集中在了大家平时最关心的所谓的“语法”上
但是简洁和有效则不同了
简洁和有效不仅仅是要表达好意思，而且还要针对特定的读者表达好意思。
那么这些题目的读者是谁呢？ 就是我们这些没有任何背景的人
那么...
你觉得这个题目意思里面 到底是 ED给SH的信是这个时期写的 更触动你的神经呢？ 还是 ED给SH的信比给别人写的信多 更能触动你的神经呢？

个人认为是后者吧，我们对于绝对的历史事实其实没什么感觉，但是对于比较却很敏感

希望这些解释能够帮助你
