TTgwd32-2 -- B or D? -- NN plz help

NOTALOSER

一定是D，这个句子很变态，但并不需要翻译，因为句意不重要，单纯从句意上讲，so vivid你可以理解成letter也可以理解成是historical account，但是看句子结构就很清晰了：

written起头的那个短语可以忽略，从letters看起，letter和文件（主语）are yielding（谓语） sth.（宾语） that...

明显that后究竟是are还是is是要看sth.的单复数了，这里的sth.就是historical account，只能是单数，D

details gathered

这里说的是由2000多信件和文件而生的historical account像是从Pompeii采集来的historical account一样生动

Written in ink or engraved by stylus, more than 2,000 letters and
            documents on wooden tablets excavated at the site of the old roman
            fort at vindolanda in northern England are yielding a historical account
            of the military garrison in the first and second centuries that are so
                vivid in their details about personal life as they are from Pompeii
                

 

1. are so vivid in their details about personal life as they are that定语从句修饰的是a historical account 主谓一致用is; 肯定句中用as…as…; their和they指代错误造成歧义 their指代的是military garrison 然而这里说的应该是historical account的details about personal life 后面的they有指代details;不需要补出be动词谓语
                   因为主要结构是A is as vivid as B 中间的in their details about personal life状语

2. are as vivid in their details of personal life as those gathered 主谓一致; their和those指代错误造成歧义
3. is as vivid in their detail about personal life as that gathered their指代错误；这里detail用的单数 that指代detail使得as...as...的比较对象错
4. is as vivid in its details of personal life as that gathered 正确
                   补全了a historical account is as vivid in its details about personal life as a historical account gathered from Pompeii.两个historical account在比较

5. is so vivid in its details of personal life as is that so…as…用在否定句中; 不需要补出be动词
