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

B. Dickinson were written over a period that begins a few years before Susan’s marriage to

Emily’s brother and ended shortly before Emily’s death in 1886, outnumber

C. Dickinson, written over a period beginning a few years before Susan’s marriage to Emily’s

brother and that ends shortly before Emily’s death in 1886 and outnumbering

D. Dickinson, which were written over a period beginning a few years before Susan’s

marriage to Emily’s brother, ending shortly before Emily’s death in 1886, 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

答案是E，但我认为有改变重心的嫌疑。自己认为A好，谓语were written且对称。outnumbering表示前面一句话造成的影响
请不吝赐教

第一题 没有最好只有更好
第二题 C简洁呀。

jedylxl

但宾从的THAT不是不能省吗？

云南

宾语从句的THAT不能省略

云南

丽丽老师的话

jedylxl

对呀，但C省了

云南

问题就是A的话，肯定不对，主句过去式，从句不可能是现在时，这是致命的
