这道真题结构有点搞...选啥？ 2000 letters...

印象中“复数名词+are+单数名词”这种表达应该是可以的，但一下我还举不出例子。

定语后置的问题，我只见过两种情况可以后置：谓语是be done或be adj. 两个例子：

大全952. After more than four decades of research and development, a new type of jet engine is being tested that could eventually propel aircraft anywhere in the world within two hours or help boost cargoes into space at significantly lower costs than current methods permit. （这题有争议，GWD曾经给出的答案是E, 认为这种that从句后置在正式文法中是错的)

另一个来自大全阅读：That sex ratio will be favored which maximizes the number of descendants an individual will have and hence the number of gene copies transmitted.

至于Employing the same techniques for genetically enhancing plants that make them disease or pest-resistant是个跳跃修饰的问题，跟本题还不一样。

我认为that还是指 account 好些。如果是garrison，则garrison is vivid in its details of personal life(这里its指前的account)还能理解, 但后面that gathered from Pompeii把它补全garrison gathered from Pompeii is vivid in its details of personal life这里的its就无所指了。

gather account这种表达感觉很怪，但考虑到实际意思还是能接受的。这里的that我想可能还不仅仅指从庞贝中挖出的letters and documents 中所描述的情景。庞贝城本身就可以认为vivid in its details of personal life。

这题需要楼主确认一下这里的are是不是typo?

in northern England are yielding a historical account of the military garrison

明显是个倒装，即 historical account(s) are yielding in northern England..那么或者are应该改成is,或者account 应该是复数，that 后的助动词应该看这两者而定。

我没看出这里有什么倒装。何以见得是倒装？

I vote for D.

that不可能隔了一大堆词去指代letters and documents,因为GMAT历史上这种答案从来不对.

that指代account是合理的,比如:"历史书可以生动(vivid)地描绘历史",也就是说account是可以vivid的

from 庞贝古城里是不可能再gather到letters的

答案中的its指的是account,也就是从句的主语,从句中代词指代从句的主语是正确的.

综上所述,答案是D.
