20. Byron possessed powers of observation that would
have made him a great anthropologist and that
makes his letters as a group the rival of the best
novels of the time.


(D) make his letters as a group the rival of
(E) make his letters a group which is the rival of

（答案给的是D，但是E中的make sth. sth.是固定搭配吧，D中as多余的，除非make letters the rival，as a group是伴随letters的）


10. For almost a hundred years after having its begin­­ning in 1788. England exiled some 160,000 criminals to Australia.
(A) For almost a hundred years after having its beginning in 1788.
(B) Beginning in 1788 for a period of a hundred years.
(C) Beginning a period of almost a hundred years, in 1788
(D) During a hundred years, a period beginning in 1788.
(E) Over a period of a hundred years beginning in 1788.

（答案是E，其他几个选项的错误都在哪儿？）
求NN解答！

10. For almost a hundred years after having its begin­­ning in 1788. England exiled some 160,000 criminals to Australia.
(A) For almost a hundred years after having its beginning in 1788.
(B) Beginning in 1788 for a period of a hundred years.
(C) Beginning a period of almost a hundred years, in 1788
(D) During a hundred years, a period beginning in 1788.
(E) Over a period of a hundred years beginning in 1788.

A,B,C三个选项开头用了beginning，即分词结构修饰England，是逻辑上的错误。
D和E差别很小，但是从鸡蛋里挑骨头滴说，D中的a period（ beginning in 1788）作为同位语修饰During a hundred years这个状语，所以错误。

20. Byron possessed powers of observation that would have made him a great anthropologist and that makes his  letters as a group the rival of the best novels of the time.
(D) make his letters as a group the rival of
(E) make his letters a group which is the rival of

是不是E选项中which前应有“，”，which应指代his letters，故而排除E。

D的具体分析哪位N人能给指点下，同求~

make his letters   （sth） as  a group （sth）
即使whic前面有逗号，which也是修饰group

it is a really tricky question which look deeply into the intend meaning.

Byron possessed powers of observation that would have made him a great anthropologist and that [powers] make his letters(as a group) the rival of the best novels of the time.
still work with the idiom of  make A B.
