Retailers reported moderate gains in their November sales, as much because of their sales of a year earlier being so bad as that shoppers were getting a head start on buying their holiday gifts.
(A) of their sales of a year earlier being so bad as that
(B) of their sales a year earlier having been as bad as because
(C) of their sales a year earlier being as bad as because
(D) their sales a year earlier had been so bad as because
(E) their sales of a year earlier were as bad as that
答案是D，我觉得逻辑上没有问题，就是D选项的时态我有点不明白，为什么要用过去完成时，而不是对应的过去时～谢谢～

同不理解，我是这样考虑的，非考点时态问题出题人并不会去死扣，这里过去式和过去完成时都可以，如果是我出题这里就是完成时，后面的becasue从句也是完成时，因为因果关系存在着必然的时间先后顺序，因在前果在后

过去完成时具有比较过去的过去发生的事情以及过去发生的事情的意思

11月份（过去某时）的销售增长一是因为在那以前（过去的过去）销售很差，二是因为那个时候（过去）人们开始狂买

同意2楼的，过去的过去用Had+动词过去分词。

很明显啊，之前reported已经是过去式，一年前的销售是更过去的事情，因此该用过去的过去啊··
