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.pradeepkaushal9518 wrote:plz ex
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
The skeleton of the sentence:
A. Emily Dickinson's letters outnumbering her letters to anyone else.
--> This is a sentence fragment because there is no main verb in the sentence.
B. Period beginning is preferable to "period that begins". Again in the option B, "begins" is not parallel with "ended".
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
--> It means that Susan's marriage is outnumbering". That is NOT correct.
D. The skeleton of the option D is:
Emily Dickinson's letters, and outnumbering her letters to anyone else
--> This is also fragment.
The remaining option E has corrected all these errors.
Thanks.
