667. Spanning more than fifty years, Friedrich Muller 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.

参考答案B。
我的疑问是begin with 和 begin in 都可以吗?还是说begin with是比较常用的搭配,而begin in在这里是为了和后面的culminated in 相平行。
问题在于one's career begins with an unpromising apprenticeship可不可以?还是应该说one begins his/her career with an unpromising apprenticeship?
我感觉两者没有什么太大区别。因为都可以这么改写: with an unpromising apprenticeship, one's career begins. with an unpromsing apprenticeship, one begins his/her career. with...做career或者one的伴随状语,似乎都可以。
To begin with, we must consider the faculties of the staff all-sidedly. 首先,我们必须全面地考虑全体员工的素质。 We can't go. To begin with, it's too cold. 我们不能去。首先,天太冷了。
按照这个意思理解,你说的:“问题在于one's career begins with an unpromising apprenticeship可不可以?还是应该说one begins his/her career with an unpromising apprenticeship?”似乎是不对的。
with an unpromising apprenticeship, one's career begins. with an unpromsing apprenticeship, one begins his/her career. with...做career或者one的伴随状语,似乎都可以。 我觉得都不对,with...介词短语在句首,修饰主语, 你不能说某个人的职业生涯(one's career)伴有an unpromising apprenticeship 或者某个人伴有an unpromising apprenticeship

这里用的是begin with,意思是“以...为开始”,而不是to begin with,“首先”。
我能说,,这道题我觉得begin不是重点吗。。。贴上 千行excel的解释A(instructor):Interesting question! After thinking about it for a bit, I think what determines the correct idiom for began is
the correct idiom for what comes after. What I mean is, because you would say She is in a promising internship, you could
say She began in a promising internship.
In an absolute sense, though, the normal idiom for marking a non-chronological start (非顺序启动)is began with (as in The word I was thinking
of began with P). You would expect began on for a specific date and began at for a time -- again, using the normal idioms
