各位兄弟姐妹，有道题需要大家帮忙。OG 13 第29题 ：
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

我看了OG的解释，说outmunber应该为main verb, which-clause 应该变为adj.的作用修饰letters, 问题来啦，正确答案E: Dickinson, which were written.... GMAT不是说"逗号+which"只能修饰which前面最近的名词（Dickinson)，不能修饰前面整个句子吗？这里的which不是违反了这一规定？
求解呀~

我想问一下，如果把这道题which的修饰改成过去分词修饰也对么？
