一道og 老题，有些疑问：平行，修饰

扣不了篮

55. Emily Dickinson’s letters to Susan Huntington 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 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

(D)Dickinson, which were written over a period beginning a few years beforeSusan’s marriage to Emily’s brother, ending shortly before Emily’s death in1886, 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

A，违背了comma + v ing 要和所修饰部分符合逻辑联系（写信的时间，和写信的数量没有必然联系。）
D， 不平行 且 没有谓语
OA 是E，
我的问题:

1,关于A选项 ，实战的时候很难想到逻辑意思是否合理啊。。有没有其他角度?   

2，E 的两个修饰  which were written over a period。。。和 ending shortly before Emily’s death in 1886这两个为什么平行啊？这不一个是which从句，一个是ving 修饰吗？ 难道这两个是noun modifer 所以 可以不考虑平行？

谢谢各位！~

Emily Dickinson’s letters to ... outnumber her letters to anyone else
如果你可以判断出本句话要表达的核心意思，就知道outnumber是要做谓语动词了

period beginning a few years before Susan’s marriage to Emily’s brother and ending shortly before Emily’s death in 1886,

Period beginning....and ending .....

这就正好解释了
,Ving 和 Ving的区别
Ving 修饰前面的名次 ，这里为period
Ending 和 beginning 并列，都是用来修饰 period

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.

简化下:
Emily Dickinson’s letters to Susan Huntington Dickinson outnumber her letters to anyone else.
最简化下 letters outnumber letters 彩色部分都是修饰成分而已
读起来多顺畅啊结构清晰，逻辑明白

which引导的非限定性定于从句只能指代 前面的letters ...从逻辑，单复数都可以判断(which不能指代人）
