To estimate the expansion rate of the universe is a notoriously difficult problem because there is a lack of a single yardstick that all distances can be measured by.
A To estimate the expansion rate of the universe is a notoriously difficult problem because there is a lack of a single yardstick that all distances can be measured by
B Estimating the expansion rate of the universe is a notoriously difficult problem because there is no single yardstick by which all distances can be measured
C Because there is a lack of a single yardstick to measure all distances by, estimating the expansion rate of the universe is a notoriously difficult problem

正确答案是B，求解释AC错在哪呀？看了gmatclub还有某刷题网站上的讨论，大部分人认为AC的表达不如B简洁（a lack of a single yardstick），还有部分说介词位置有问题（不应该放句末），求问介词位置这个解释靠谱吗

？也属于GMAT要考察的点吗？

介词不可以放句末，这也是曼哈顿语法明确说的。所以AC可以直接判错

Agree with LaoBai.

Additionally, "to estimate" in A is an action verb, it is better to use the "-ing" form as the noun phrase.

Last but not least, "there is a lack of" is marked as "suspicious" by Manhattan. You can refer to Appendix of the idioms. Hope it helps.

notoriously是副词啊，这题里都是 a notoriously difficult problem，明显修饰了名词，不知道肿么回事？
