讨论大全542(sec18-13)-有证据支持B对（找到了原文，已解决）

1.     Oberlin College in Ohio was a renegade institution at its 1833 founding for deciding to accept both men and women as students.
   

       (A) at its 1833 founding for deciding to accept

       (B) for the decision at its 1833 founding to accept

       (C) when it was founded in 1833 for its decision to accept

       (D) in deciding at its founding in 1833 to accept（D）

    (E) by deciding at its founding in 1833 on the acceptance of

疑问:

       有网友解释说D中的in相当于for,表原因. 可是我在longman和韦式两个词典中都没有找到这个解释,不知道这个解释出自哪里, 烦请告知.

       以前认为B错的原因是at its 1833 founding不符合idiom的,但是网友wangshu0306在google上搜到了例句: Since its 1993 founding with outreach in Zimbabwe, Camfed has expanded its efforts to Zambia. 而且网友dingxiang指出, 在新东方的红宝书, renegade词条下有一个例句:Oberlin College in Ohio was a renegade institution at its 1833 founding for accepting both men and women as students.

      因此,如果D中in的解释无法找到出处,本人认为答案应该是B,而非D. 欢迎大家讨论.

虽然没有找到in相当于for的证据，但是我认为如果D和B同时存在时，我会优先考虑D，因为在英语里面有一个原则是写作的时候动词优先于名词，所以这里的b和d如果都没有语法错误，那么也应该选择decide的分词形式优先于他的名词形式decision

继续讨论。

谢谢blogfish MM回复，再问一下，如果in不相当于for，那么in在D里是什么意思呢？

还是不太能够同意足球幽灵的观点。

确实，“在新东方的红宝书, renegade词条下有一个例句:Oberlin College in Ohio was a renegade institution at its 1833 founding for accepting both men and women as students. ” 但只能证明for 后面可以跟分词结构，而GMAT偏向于用动词而非名词，因此B选项中for the decision还是不是很合适，如果是for deciding可能就对了。

而参看longman的解释，in doing sth表示在做某事时，通过做某事，因此我认为D选项还是正确答案，因为原文可理解为Oberlin College 在1833年成立的时候（通过）决定同时接纳男女学生成为了一所反叛的学校。仔细体会，in doing sth.还是有点表原因的意思在的，通过做某事而产生了某某结果。
