og 235

235. Spanning more than fifty years, Friedrich Miiller 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.Miiller began his career in an unpromising apprenticeship as
B.Miiller's career began in an unpromising apprenticeship as
C.Miiller's career began with the unpromising apprenticeship of being
D.Miiller had begun his career with the unpromising apprenticeship of being
E.the career of Miiller has begun with an unpromising apprenticeship of

答案为B，我想知道为什么A不行，说Miller这个人的职业开始于scholar，然后Miller 这个人达到了什么什么的顶端，为什么不可以？

Spanning more than fifty years，分词在句首，分词修饰句子主语

A.主语为Miiller，Miiller＋Spanning more than fifty years不合逻辑

应该为Miiller's career

不好意思

那段黑色的是：分词在句首，修饰句子主语

谢谢，只顾看句意，倒把句首的分词状语给忽略了。谢谢！
