OG 的解釋說
In B, the verb phrase that begins being the only eyewitness accounts modifies the subject of the preceding clause, suggesting nonsensically that the nephew of Pliny the Elder himself was the eyewitness accounts

為什麼BEING所帶出來的片語一定會形容主詞阿，不能形容 LETTERS嗎? 是因為the only eyewitness accounts of the great eruption of Vesuvius做 letter的同位語只要加逗號就好嗎?
