请原谅我又发帖了。。。后天考了。。。我非常不镇定！！！！！！！！！！怎么还有这么多不懂！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！
In 1945, after a career as First Lady in which she shattered expectations
more audaciously than either Abigail Adams or Dolly Madison ever had been, Eleanor Roosevelt was appointed a delegate to the United Nations General Assembly by President Harry S Truman.
(D)
with an audacity never matched by Abigail Adams or Dolly Madison, Eleanor Roosevelt was
appointed a delegate to the United Nations General Assembly by President Harry S Truman
请问正解D中会不会有比较不平行，是不是应该加上that of
Abigail Adams or Dolly Madison呢？
Even though it was not illegal for the bank to share its customers' personal and financial information with an outside marketing company in return for a commission on sales, the state's attorney general accused the bank of engaging in deceptive business practices by failing to honor its promise to its customers to keep records private.
(A) by failing to honor its promise to its customers to keep
(B) by its failure of honoring its promise to its customers to keep
(C) in its failing to honor its promise to its customers of keeping
(D) because of its failure in honoring its promise to its customers in keeping
(E) because of its failure to honor its promise to its customers of keeping
请问这里正解A的by doing 表什么呢？通过某种方法？=by means of么？
这样不会误解是
state's attorney general accused the bank by failing to honor its promise to its customers to keep
而不是bank做的事么？
而且我怎么觉得这里应该表因果啊？

match本来就是这么用的，比较双方不需要严格对等，比如：
1. The setting and scenery of Vancouver, a combination of sea, lowlands, and mountains, can be matched By few cities in the world.
2. Unless you work at this proactively, your product or service is already in the process of being matched by your competition.
