18. GWD17-Q18:

Over the course of the eighteenth
century, the average output of ironwork tripled as a result of several
improvements in blowing machinery and because coal replaced charcoal as the
fuel used in the smelting of iron ore.

A.     
Over the course of the eighteenth century, the average
output of ironwork tripled as a result of several improvements in blowing
machinery and because coal replaced charcoal as the fuel used in the smelting
of iron ore.

B.      
Over the course of the eighteenth century a tripling in the
average output of ironwork was due to the replacement of charcoal by coal for
the fuel used in the smelting of iron ore, in addition to several improvements
in blowing machinery.

C.     
With charcoal’s being replaced by coal as the fuel used in
the smelting of iron ore and several improvements in blowing machinery, the
average output of ironwork tripled over the eighteenth century.

D.     
The replacement of charcoal with coal for the fuel used in
the smelting of iron ore and several improvements in blowing machinery, the
average output of ironwork tripled over the eighteenth century.

E.      
Charcoal being replaced by coal as the fuel used in the
smelting of iron ore, and several improvements in blowing machinery, which
tripled the average output of ironwork over the course of the eighteenth
century.

A中的as a result of  和 because of可以并列吗？

C不行吗？

谢谢~

C 我找到2处错，  第一个是 charcoal’s being replaced 可以改成 charcoal replaced， being纯多余。

                   第二个是 ：　　with　原因一　ａｎｄ　原因　二，　　不如写成　with　原因一　ａｎｄ　ｗｉｔｈ　原因二　

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　不然有歧义，　歧义理解成　ＩＮ　（Ａ　ＡＮＤ　Ｂ）

　还有一个是相对性的，　　ＳＶＯ　ＢＥＣＡＵＳＥ　改成　ＷＩＴＨ　。。，ＳＶＯ　　不好，　因果性削弱了。

Ａ可以这么些，　　因为原因有一些用一个词就说清楚，一些要用句子说清楚，　分别用　ＡＳ　ＲＥＳＵＬＴ　ＯＦ　和　ＢＥＣＡＵＳＥ，不能交叉替换。

you are wrong

1. "charcoal’s being replaced" is different from "charcoal replaced" ,charcoal replaced & improvements is not paralelled

2. because...... is clause, can not connected "the average output of...." with AND

还是不明白介词短语可以和从句并列吗？

as a result of和because of并列，理解~

可是as a result of和because就觉得有点接受不了~~

• Over the course of the eighteenth century, the average output of ironwork tripled
                          as a result
                      of several improvements in blowing machinery and because coal replaced charcoal as the fuel used in the smelting of iron ore.
                          -> Not parallel
          
• Over the course of the eighteenth century a tripling in the average output of ironwork was due to the replacement of charcoal by coal for the fuel used in the smelting of iron ore, in addition to several improvements in blowing machinery. ->Not Parallel
  
• With charcoal’s being replaced by coal as the fuel used in the smelting of iron ore and several improvements in blowing machinery, the average output of ironwork tripled over the eighteenth century.->Not the best but only remaining option
  
• The replacement of charcoal with coal for the fuel used in the smelting of iron ore and several improvements in blowing machinery, the average output of ironwork tripled over the eighteenth century. ->does not make sense
          
• Charcoal being replaced by coal as the fuel used in the smelting of iron ore, and several improvements in blowing machinery, which tripled the average output of ironwork over the course of the eighteenth century. ->does not make sense
  

Some guys choose C, just as I do;

我也系，选的C。。
