标题: 一道PREP题，我个人觉得正确答案也不好，个人看法见正文

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

(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

本题的A选项我个人觉得有点争议。后面的by doing结构有修饰前面的accused的嫌疑。这样的话，语义完全不对，如果换成将by换成in会更好点

07笔记:its failing 是动名词不够简洁；promise of doing 的表达不正确
