所以提醒我们所有格后面如果还跟有介词，一定要注意分清楚，这个介词是修饰整个句子，作为状语；还是：紧跟所有格后面的那个名词，是整个所有格的一个部分。
B being使用有误
C writing描述很奇怪，好像在说刚开始写，保持持续的动作
E correct
之后遇到名词+modifier这种情况需要注意，这个modifier的修饰是不是可以存在歧义
E中"in two letters to the historian Tacitus"放在开头，在两份寄给T的信中，不会造成疑义。
看答案头头是道，下次做还是忽略掉modifier的位置，究竟怎么解……
B选项：being the only eyewitness修饰the nephew of Pliny the Elder❌
C选项： in two letters是句子产生歧义
D选项： in two letters是句子产生歧义；accounted for解释说明；account of 是记录,记账的名词
2.being the only eyewitness修饰the nephew of Pliny the Elder，错误
3. writing to 分词做后置定语，修饰the nephew of Pliny the Elder，错误
4. 同A
AE中，主要区别在于in two letters的放置位置，考的是modifier placement，当然是E更合适咯。A成了修饰Vesuvius.
b, being就近修饰letters,逻辑不通
c, 主干是the only eyewitness account is an account of the great eruption,明显改变了句意
d,句意变成了是pliny 解释了eruption，也改变了句意
B has the untouchable participle – being - ; in addition - the only eyewitness accounts - should be - the only eyewitness account-
C. - nephew of Pliny the Elder writing to – as if he is just now writing. Wrong diction
E is the best, bringing out in simple terms the intended meaning
