1.        Even as they never forgave the Crusaders who overran their homeland, the Syrians have never absolved the French for taking territory from them.

(A) Even as they never forgave

(B) While they never forgave

(C) Just like they never forgave

(D) Similarly to not forgiving

(E) In spite of their never forgiving

答案是A，但我不确定B为什么不对。可能的情况：

Even as: conj. 正如，conj连结连个句子

just like: adv.只能修饰形容词或者动词，而后面是个句子，所以不对。

大家意见如何？有见过 like/unlike A, B do的句型，A是句子的吗？我的印象里好像没有。

A的用法是  as A do, B do

我觉得B的while改变了愿意，没有转折的意思

查了Merriam Websters，even作adv时的意思是：1 a: exactly, precisely
        b: to a degree that extends : fully, quite
            <faithful even unto death>
        c: at the very time <raining even as the sun came out>

所以它修饰as句子，正如。。。一样。

(B) While they never forgave

they从句在句首了，前面没有具体名词就不应该用代词
