10. Young female ballet dancers and gymnasts sometimes fail to maintain good eating habits caused by the desire to be as thin as possible.
(A) Young female ballet dancers and gymnasts sometimes fail to maintain good eating habits caused by the desire to be as thin as possible.
(B) Good eating habits sometimes fail to be maintained by young female ballet dancers and gymnasts caused by desiring to be as thin as possible.
(C) Because they desire to be as thin as possible, good eating habits are sometimes not maintained by young female ballet dancers and gymnasts.
(D) Because they desire to be as thin as possible, young female ballet dancers and gymnasts sometimes fail to maintain good eating habits.（D）
(E) Young female ballet dancers and gymnasts sometimes fail to maintain good eating habits because they desire to be as thin as possible.
这题D、E答案有什么区别吗？是不是在E中，they的指代会有问题，gymnasts or ballet dancers and gymnasts，所以错。请NN指教！
我认为不是语序的问题
because在句首/句尾均可 在大全中都有
主要是代词指代
E中，they的指代会有问题，gymnasts or ballet dancers and gymnasts，所以错
Please refer to OG12.
谢谢三位的回答，可我还是有点疑问。如leeon gg的建议，我参考了一下OG12，可我发现自己更加迷糊了。
12. Formulas for cash flow and the ratio of debt to equity do not apply to new small businesses in the same way as they do to established big businesses, because they are growing and are seldom in equilibrium. (A) Formulas for cash flow and the ratio of debt to equity do not apply to new small businesses in the same way as they do to established big businesses, because they are growing and are seldom in equilibrium. (B) Because they are growing and are seldom in equilibrium, formulas for cash flow and the ratio of debt to equity do not apply to new small businesses in the same way as they do to established big businesses. (C) Because they are growing and are seldom in equilibrium, new small businesses are not subject to the same applicability of formulas for cash flow and the ratio of debt to equity as established big businesses. (D) Because new small businesses are growing and are seldom in equilibrium, formulas for cash flow and the ratio of debt to equity do not apply to them in the same way as to established big businesses.（D） (E) New small businesses are not subject to the applicability of formulas for cash flow and the ratio of debt to equity in the same way as established big businesses, because they are growing and are seldom in equilibrium. In A, the they after because is ambiguous; it seems illogically to refer to Formulas because they and Formulas are each the grammatical subject of a clause and because the previous they refers to Formulas。 OG的解释是，because 从句中的they与主句的主语formulas是平行的，所以they指代formulas。那也就是说，大全中的这题E中的they应该指代主句的主语Young female bellet dancers and gymnates。这就不存在指代不清的问题了，E就更没错了。 至于stoneren gg说的语序问题倒有点像是关键所在了。OG12的答案D就是原因状语从句在前，主句在后的。ETS是不是认为更喜欢按时间顺序来的句子？但是我又在OG上找到了很多反例。怎么都想不通，请三位再给我讲讲！
顶一下！
(D) Because they desire to be as thin as possible, young female ballet dancers and gymnasts sometimes fail to maintain good eating habits.（D）
(E) Young female ballet dancers and gymnasts sometimes fail to maintain good eating habits because they desire to be as thin as possible.
这题区别D和E的最好的方法，至少偶是这么认为的，就是XDF的理论，所谓若两个选项除了因果秩序颠倒外，没有其它差别，那么选先因后果的选项。
