求大侠们帮忙

The defense lawyer and witnesses portrayed the accused as a victim of circumstance, his life by the media pressure to punish someone in the case.

A. circumstance, his life

B. circumstance, and his life

C. circumstance, and his life being

D. circumstance; his life

E. circumstance: his life being

这道题的正确答案为A，A的确没问题；但是我想问一下为什么E不对呢？冒号不是有对前面句子的解释说明作用吗？我知道冒号前必须是完整的句子，冒号后也必须是完整的句子吗？求解答，谢谢啦

关于冒号的用法manhattan上的说明：
(1) 冒号是对前面提出的信息起补充说明作用，可以在冒号后面加namely或者that is。
(2) 冒号前的分句必须能够单独成句，冒号后的则不一定。
(3) 紧挨着冒号前的成分与冒号后的解释成分越近越好
Worse: Three factors affect the rate of a reaction: concentration, surface area, and temperature.
Right: The rate of a reaction is affected by three factors: concentration, surface area, and
temperature.
(4) 冒号后可以加入一个主句，用以解释冒号前的内容。
EG: On January 1, 2000, the national mood was completely different from what it would become just a few years later: at the turn of the century, given a seemingly unstoppable stock market and a seemingly peaceful world, the country was content.

Accuracy wise, the use of ‘being’ is still suspect. ‘Being’ is not used to describe a state; it is used to describe an ongoing action such as ‘the tree is being uprooted’.
Colon is used if you need to give a list and hence, is not suitable here.
