其中，A的表达确实比较wordy，但是感觉还是比较公正的，而outnumbering的表达为什么不能理解为是前面的伴随，而是说是outnumbering是unclearly refers to 的呢？请帮忙看看。谢谢。

请牛牛们指点一二

但是A中，letters were written ……应该是不缺verb的呀，CD是可以这样排出的。 而且确实B是两个verb，但前面和A是一样的，所以可以看出A是不缺verb的。 outnumbering形式为什么不可以是伴随呢？谢谢。

还有同学能帮忙看下A选项吗？感谢上面同学的积极回答~~~考试过7！

A选项的重心变了，原句突出的事outnumber而不是书写信件，所以不能将后句理解为伴随……

我承认A的确很诱人，但因为现在分词是修饰前句的，表伴随或者结果，是有联系的
而本句中outnumber 跟 letters were written over a period 没有逻辑关系，所以不能选A
