Lenders and building managers in the southwestern section of the city report that because of the rental market in the area being renewed, as well as the willingness of the banks to lend money being increased, apartment buildings are being rehabilitated at a pace unseen for a decade.

(A) of the rental market in the area being renewed, as well as the willingness of the banks to lend money being increased

(B) of the renewed rental market in the area, as well as the willingness of banks to lend money increasing

(C) of the renewed rental market in the area and the increased willingness of banks to lend money

(D) the rental market in the area renewed and the willingness of banks to lend money increased, therefore

(E) the rental market in the area was being renewed and banks were increasingly willing to lend money, so

答案是C，C中的and后面不需要再加because of吗，做的时候就是因为这个才没选

the renewed rental market in the area and the increased willingness of banks to lend money

感觉这是一体的，用一个Becasue of足以

首先，renew不是单纯vt，也有vi：

–verb (used without object)

其实，通常不用because...therefore/so...的句子，可以用Therefore, because...

我当时也选成D，因为一看到because of就干掉，但是调查之后明白了，现在看来C的表达更简洁，可见GMAT没有rule可循。
