Answer: C
OG上说C选项"An active verb makes the first clause more concise; it in the second clause clearly referers to the radio".
怎么看出c中的instead, it has become这个 it 指的是radio? 前面先行词还有telephone, private conversation啊,为什么it一定指radio?根据就近一致原则,it可能指代telephnoe啊?求助牛牛.

亲,不是喔。你看正确的句子是
Emily Dickinson’s letters to Susan Huntington 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 her letters to anyone else.
which不能指代人,所以肯定是指代前面的letters. 这个定语从句可以看出成是一个插入语,去掉which从句,剩下的就是 Emily Dickinson’s letters to Susan Huntington Dickinson outnumber her letters to anyone else.这个句子的主语就是letters哦。后面的 to Susan Huntington Dickinson是定语
看下面例子

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, and 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
答案是E,这句话的which不能修饰其紧邻的名词Susan Huntington Dickinson,必须跳过介词结构to…,修饰核心词letter。
