一道争议了这么多年的题目，我还是觉得A正确。

支持E.

A的问题，读了很久这个句子，outnumberining...这个modifier的逻辑主语到底是哪个？在A中不清楚。

E,用双逗号引入一个插入说明成分，如果删除这个成分，句子仍然正确，内容完整。

有是一争论四年的题，做题时就一直徘徊在A，E之间，现在倾向于E。

刚在网上搜索到的。。。看来的确是E，outnumber可以用一般现在式，可是为什么呢？

Dickinson's surviving letters to Susan, which began ardently a few years before Susan's marriage and continued almost until the poet's death in 1886, outnumber her letters to anyone else.

Prospecting for gold during the California gold rush was a relatively easy task, because of erosion, prehistoric glacier movement, and ancient, gold-bearing riverbeds thrust to the surface by volcanic activity put gold literally within reach for anybody with a pan or shovel.

E 中 put gold literally within reach of做什么成分啊?

A问题是修饰不清楚

“SVO,V-ing” 常会产生修饰不清楚的情况，所以考试时碰到要小心

anybody with a pan or shovel.

anybody with a pan or shovel.

anybody with a pan or shovel.

highligh的部分是从句的主语/谓语。"thrust for the surface by volcanic activity" 是修饰从句主语的。

我不是NN, 这套题错了9个SC题，还有4天要考了  

不同意

E. since [erosion, prehistoric glacier movement, and ancient, gold-bearing riverbeds thrust to the surface by volcanic activity](主语) put (谓语) gold literally within reach of

主语是由三个并列的名词或名词性短语组成。

thrust是过去分词做riverbeds的后置定语

以下是引用xoway在2004-9-17 12:13:00的发言：

不是N，我选E
我的感觉是，主要想表达些信件outnumber。
同意宝宝在41楼的看法，需要表达的三个意思，这三个意思在E里面被更好的组织并表述。
做题的时候，一方面觉得这句话的主要意思是表达信件数量超过的事实，另一方面感觉A里面outnumbering放在最后作伴随状态，跟前面的句子有些脱节。
刚才察看着道题的讨论，发现另一篇帖子mumuwa的一篇，她这样写到：

这个题我觉得有必要探讨一下，这个题的BCD有明显的句子结构问题，主要看A还是E，偶开始也选的A，看到tianwan提示，我又觉得E对，后来想想，A还是有合理性的。
A's letters to B were written over a period（开始到结束好长好长的时间，一直到死前啊） 。。。, outnumbering her letters to anyone else.
outnumbering 的功能，在白勇的书里，-ING分词短语在句未：1）伴随动作、状态和功能，与句子谓语动作同时发生，逻辑主语等于句子主语；2）伴随结果，整个句子是原因，到时分词动作产生，无逻辑主语。
这样，可不可以这样理解，前半句（主句）在讲这个爱美丽同志的信写了N年的时间（可能与她写其他信不大一样），所以造成了给这同一个收信人的信的数量大大超过了给其他GG的？
关于这个伴随的用法，OG里有一例，大家体会一下，能不能算A对？
259. Five fledgling sea eagles left their nests in western Scotland this summer, bringing to 34 the number of wild birds successfully raised since transplants from Norway began in 1975.
(A) bringing
(B) and brings
(C) and it brings
(D) and it brought（A）
(E) and brought
Choice A is best. The “-ing” (present participle) form introduces action that is simultaneous with the action of the main clause; i.e., bringing indicates that the number of wild birds became 34 when the sea eagles left their nests.
可是如果原题中A对了，又怎么去推翻E呢？好为难啊～

而看到这个例子，更让我觉得A是错误的。
259用的是主动形式sth. do sth,doing...这里doing表示伴随，说明前面主语行为的结果，这样清楚明了。
而这个例子里面，A用的是被动形式,letters were written...,outnumbering...。前面是一种被动的状态，强调的是主语letters，而并不是强调写信的行为，这样，后面的伴随结果显得不够对应。
我觉得，如果这个句子的前半部分用的是主动形式来强调整个行为的过程
Emily Dickinson wrote letters...blabla,outnumbering....
那么,用outnumbering做伴随结果则是比较好的表达方式。

请继续讨论。

决定支持E了

以下是引用麻集爱在2004-6-13 21:06:00的发言：

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. 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 E中主语为letters, 谓语是outnumer, 所以句子提炼后就是letters outnumber her letters to anyone else. 逻辑错误，letters 本身数量上不会超过，而是写于一长段时间内的信件的累积才使其数量上超过......， 注意限定与非限定修饰的区别

不同意 they outnumber us three to one .  ==> A ounumber B ( 多少多少)

不选a 因为outnumbering离主语过远,如果是做伴随也应该放在句首.

欢迎指教 lsemm 很厉害的

Emily's letters to Susan were written during yrx to yry, outnumbering her letters to anyone else.感觉 A 没有问题啊。
