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
             

 

A.      are so vivid in their details about personal life as they ate

C.      is as vivid in their detail about personal life as that gathered

D.      is as vivid in its details of personal life as that gathered

E.       is so vivid in its details of personal life as is that

爭議題...
一般支持B的: that指代"more than 2,000 letters and  documents on wooden tablets...", 所以是are不是is
一般支持D的: that指代"a historical account  of the military garrison in the first and second centuries", 所以是is不是are
個人傾向D, 因為:
- S+V+O that V2...的that指代S太遠
- 如果真的要指代S, 那可以寫成S that...V+O, 或是S+V+O, and (pronoun of S)+V2....沒必要寫成B那樣.

LS正解啊。。

做题的时候一直在考虑是指代哪一个。。

最后还是觉得

more than 2,000 letters and  documents on wooden tablets

更合理一些。。

不过这样貌似会有歧义而且修饰对象也太远了。。。

B.    are as vivid in their details of personal life as those gathered  from 表明修饰的应该是书信

account of  是不能被gather 的啊

同意，应该是修饰书信的，可是这样的是不是和that就近修饰的原则相违背了
