实例题目：

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

选项分析：

(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

【错误1】修饰成分：非谓语动词“outnumbering”在本选项中作状语(动词的修饰语)，其逻辑主语为“Emily Dickinson's letters”，与所修饰动词“were written”的主语相同，这意味着“outnumbering”是动词“were written”的伴随状语，根据与法要求，“doing”应伴随所修饰动词同时发生且同(逻辑)主语。有日常逻辑可知，本题中“outnumbering”(“数量超过”)不应伴随“信件背写”之一动作同时发生，因此修饰关系不合理。

【错误2】句子意思：由日常逻辑可知，本句的句意重心更应该是“outnumbering”(“数量超过”)，如(E)，而非“were written”，因此“outnumbering”作修饰语表意逊于(E)。

(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

【错误】句子结构：“were written”和“outnumber”均为“Emily Dickinson's letters”的谓语动词，而两只之间不存在任何连接词，如“and”、“or”或“but”等，主谓结构组合方式有误。

(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

【错误】句子结构：“written”和“outnumbering”均无法成为“Emily Dickinson's letters”的谓语动词，于是“Emily Dickinson's letters”失去谓语，主谓结构不完整。

(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

【错误1】句子结构：“were written”是“which”引导的定语从句中的谓语动词，而主句中“Emily Dickinson's letters” 失去谓语，主谓结构不完整。

【错误2】平行结构：“and outnumbering”无法和任何结构搭配形成平行结构。

(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

【正确】 “beginning”和“ending”正确地平行在了一起，“outnumber” 是“Emily Dickinson's letters”的谓语动词，两者构成了主句的主谓结构。

【大意】 Emily Dickinson给Susan Huntington Dickinson的信被写于从Susan嫁给Emily的弟弟后不久到Emily去世前不久，数量上超过了她写给其他任何人的信。

解题思路：

(B)、(C)和(D)句子结构有问题，立即排除。

(A)和(E)对比发现“outnumbering”作伴随修饰不合理。

因此选择(E)。
