Hi there,

My question: is "in" preferable to "with"? In other words, what if "of being' is changed into "as" in option C?

135. Spanning more than 50 years, Friedrich Müller began his career in an unpromising apprenticeship as a Sanskrit scholar and culminated in virtually every honor that European governments and learned societies could bestow.
(A) Müller began his career in an unpromising apprenticeship as
(B) Müller’s career began in an unpromising apprenticeship as
(C) Müller’s career began with the unpromising apprenticeship of being
(D) Müller had begun his career with the unpromising apprenticeship of being
(E) the career of Müller has begun with an unpromising apprenticeship of

Logical predication; Idiom

What spanned more than 50 years? It was Müller’s career that spanned 50 years and culminated in virtually every honor. The correct subject of the sentence must be Müller’s career.

A Müller’s career, not Müller, should be the subject of the sentence.
B Correct. Using Müller’s career as the subject of the sentence solves the modi?cation problem with spanning … and provides a
logical subject for culminated.
C Apprenticeship of being is an incorrect idiom; apprenticeship as is correct.
D Müller’s career, not Müller, should be the subject of the sentence; past perfect tense is inappropriate; apprenticeship of being is an incorrect idiom.
E Müller’s career is preferable to the career of Müller; present perfect tense is incorrect; apprenticeship of should be apprenticeship as.

The correct answer is B.

But the correct answer is "begin in".

MHT is not everything, but it is really something.

Gmac is a king. Although begin in does not appear in MHT, it makes sense in the correct answer, and GMAC uses it. We accept and also use it.
