256. The nephew of Pliny the Elder wrote the only eyewitness account of the great eruption of Vesuvius in two letters to the historian Tacitus.

(A) The nephew of Pliny the Elder wrote the only eyewitness account of the great eruption of Vesuvius in two letters to the historian Tacitus.

(B) To the historian Tacitus, the nephew of Pliny the Elder wrote two letters, being the only eyewitness accounts of the great eruption of Vesuvius.

(C) The only eyewitness account is in two letters by the nephew of Pliny the Elder writing to the historian Tacitus an account of the great eruption of Vesuvius.

(D) Writing the only eyewitness account, Pliny the Elder’s nephew accounted for the great eruption of Vesuvius in two letters to the historian Tacitus.（E）

(E) In two letters to the historian Tacitus, the nephew of Pliny the Elder wrote the only eyewitness account of the great eruption of Vesuvius.

今天看og的解释觉得又有不明白的地方了。og的解释中说In D, Writing the only eyewitness account, Pliny the Elder’s nephew accounted is redundant。为什么这种用法redundant呢？我一直是用“改变句子重心”这一方法来说服自己的。不知道是不是这就是og所谓的redundant呢？也许有点钻牛角尖了，谢谢大家

Writing the only eyewitness account, Pliny the Elder’s nephew accounted

你看到两个account了吗？多不多余？
