Emily Dickinson’s letters to SusanHuntington Dickinson were written over a period beginning a few years beforeSusan’s marriage to Emily’s brother and ending shortly before Emily’s death in1886, outnumbering her letters to anyone else.
A. Dickinson were written over a periodbeginning a few years before Susan’s marriage to Emily’s brother and ending shortlybefore Emily’s death in 1886, outnumbering
B. Dickinson were written over a periodthat begins a few years before Susan’s marriage to Emily’s brother and endedshortly before Emily’s death in 1886, outnumber
C. Dickinson, written over a period beginninga few years before Susan’s marriage to Emily’s brother and that ends shortlybefore Emily’s death in 1886 and outnumbering
D. Dickinson, which were written over aperiod beginning a few years before Susan’s marriage to Emily’s brother, endingshortly before Emily’s death in 1886, and outnumbering
E. Dickinson, which were written over aperiod beginning a few years before Susan’s marriage to Emily’s brother andending shortly before Emily’s death in 1886, outnumber
OG: Itis unclear what outnumbering refers to.(其实就是说，俩句子木有relationship，我以为是指代）
RON: "the phrase in question,"outnumbering ...", is NOT, in any way whatsoever, a"(direct/indirect) result" of the time period over which the letterswere written. these are tw completely independent and unrelated observationsabout the letters, and so they can't be placed into the sort of constructionthat appears in choice (a). this is thus not a grammatical problem so much as aproblem of clarity, but it's still a problem.

examples:
my brother, who ate bagel bites forbreakfast every single day of his high school career, graduated in 1994. -->correct; his eating bagel bites had no impact on his graduation date.
my brother ate bagel bites for breakfastevery single day of his high school career, graduating in 1994. -->incorrect; these are two unrelated observations, but this constructionerroneously implies some sort of relationship."

如：Mary buys cookies made with an artificialsweetener that tastes as sweet as corn syrup but thatcontains fewer calories than an equivalent amountof corn syrup.--- is this correct? Here: yes
If not separated by a comma should not befollowed by an independent clause. However, in this case "thatcontains..." is not an independent clause. It is a dependent clause. Hencethe sentence is correct as is.


Correct: Mary buys cookies made with anartificial sweetener that tastes as sweet as corn syrup but that contains fewercalories than an equivalent amount of corn syrup.

Correct: Mary buys cookies made with anartificial sweetener that tastes as sweet as corn syrup butcontains fewer calories than an equivalent amount of corn syrup.

Incorrect: Mary buys cookies made with anartificial sweetener that tastes as sweet as corn syrup butit contains fewer calories than an equivalent amount of corn syrup.
Here"it contains..." forms an independent clause and hence needs a comma to be separated from the other main clause.(其实就是我们说的从句的并列要用相同的词引导，那么不是从句的话就no need to add "that" --- 我的理解，open to discuss~)

OG SC 10 ：
Carnivorous mammals can endure  what would otherwise be lethal levels of body heat because they have a heat-exchange network which kept the brain from getting too hot.

A.which kept
B.that keeps
C.which has kept
D.that has been keeping
E.having kept
OG对C选项的解释：In contrast, has kept indicates a more definite context and time period and suggests that the heat-exchange network may no longer have this effect.
现在完成时不是从过去一直到现在都有效的么？怎么这里说may no longer have this effect了呢？

绿光，这个题饭饭纠结到答案完全背下来了...囧...曾经一个老师讲答案为AE..求讨论~~绿光学习累的时候吧~饭饭觉得要是AE都木有问题的话，也优先选择A吧，至少保持句子重心~你说呢？

#早起#打卡，从被子里出来了~
to饭饭：
不行，这道题必须选E，A是错误的！最后的outnumbering是句末分词，要么表示伴随，要么表示结果。从什么时候到什么时候写信并不能作为＂比其他人得信多＂的导致原因，更不是同时进行不能表示伴随~所以outnumbering的使用do not make sense~
我的理解哈~

今天虽然起的早，但是昨晚有些失眠所以早上起来以后头脑不清醒心跳也特别快~结果就看了视频=。=
今天又不能做模考了，那就多总结吧~可惜的GWD，明天再见了！

现在完成时一个是表示的持续的影响一个持续的动作，manhattan说过 the present perfect indicates either continued action or continued effect of a completed action
我想这儿的话是说heat-exchange network木有这个效果，这个效果是不是表示的a completed action（ kept the brain from getting too hot）呀，还是有点混乱，解释的很烂···同期待nn解答
