标题: OG16 SC55 官方答案好像也不正确

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

(A) 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

(B) 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

(C) Dickinson,written over a period beginning a few years before Susan's marriage to Emily's brother and that ends shortly before Emily's death in 1886 and outnumbering

(D) Dickinson,which were written over a period beginning a few years before Susan's marriage to Emily's brother, ending shortly before Emily's death in 1886, outnumbering

(E) 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

官方给的答案是(E)

我选的是(A)，官方给出不选的理由是too long too wordy, gives too much emphasizis to the period; it is unclear what 'outnumbering' refers to. 句子太长可以理解，但个人认为很清楚outnumbering的主语是Emily Dickinson's letters，宾语是her letters to anyone else, 哪里不清楚呢？

再看(E)，outnumber的时态不应该用过去式吗？全篇说的都是以前写的信件啊。。。怎么这个就成了正确答案呢？

请大牛们解答！

整个主句的意思是在说 ED给SHD写的信比写给其他人的信多，中间那个letter were written是插入描述信的状态，是附加的部分。所以，谓语要放在number上。
A项，把number弄成了附加部分，作伴随，和整个句子意思冲突。要宏观的看句子。
E项，你可以理解为在陈述 “信多”这个事实，不仅过去多，现在多，将来还是多，不仅仅是发生在过去的状态。
