183.(GWD-6-Q22)Charles Lindbergh, for his attempt at a solo transatlantic flight, was very reluctant to have any extra weight on his plane, he therefore refused to carry even a pound of mail, despite being offered $1,000 to do so.

A.Charles Lindbergh, for his attempt at a solo transatlantic flight, was very reluctant to have any extra weight on his plane, he therefore

B.When Charles Lindbergh was attempting his solo transatlantic flight, being very reluctant to have any extra weight on his plane, he

C.Since he was very reluctant to carry any extra weight on his plane when he was attempting his solo transatlantic flight, so Charles Lindbergh

D.Being very reluctant to carry any extra weight on his plane when he attempted his solo transatlantic flight was the reason that Charles Lindbergh(E)

E.Very reluctant to have any extra weight on his plane when he attempted his solo transatlantic flight, Charles Lindbergh

题目释义：Very reluctant to have any extra weight ….., Charles Lindbergh refused to …….., despite…..…

主语是Charles Lindbergh，形容词引导的不定式前置，修饰主语，谓语为refuse to do sth，despite引导的状语从句，修饰谓语，表转折。

考点：句子结构

1. Attempt的用法:

做及物动词时：

attempt to do sth.

attempt sth.

做名词时：

an attempt at (doing) sth.

an attempt to do sth. 但是不及attempt to do sth.简洁有效

选项分析: (A)缺少连词，两套主谓结构，注意therefore是副词，不能做连词用；for引出目的状语逻辑不够合理，时间状语即可。

(B)being多余；being very reluctant to引导的成分夹心修饰。

(C)since和so语意重复，且两句话两个连词错误。；

(D)句式结构复杂，clumsy&awkward。

(E)Correct。

如题，就是关于D的问题~

我在国外网站找到很好的解释，直接粘过来了~
Being heavily committed to a course of action, especially one that has worked well in the past, is likely to make an executive miss signs of incipient trouble or misinterpret them when they do appear.
in first OG example...
What "is likely to make an executive miss signs of incipient trouble or misinterpret them when they do appear"?
"Being heavily committed to a course of action, especially one that has worked well in the past"
This answer makes sense. On the other hand...

What "was the reason that Charles Lindbergh refused to carry even a pound of mail"?
"Being very reluctant to carry any extra weight on his plane"
This is just not how you answer a question like this. When someone asks you "what is the reason that X happened?", the answer is not "being Y". This is why "being" cannot be used as a subject here. The "being" phrase here would be more appropriate as a modifier for Charles Lindbergh if the sentence were restructured to accommodate that.

个人认为X was the reason that Y这个句型在语法上市没有错误的，只是不太好，特别当X是复杂的短语的时候，就更不好了。。。
请NN拍砖。。。

annie姐姐的意思是说，如果在E是不对的情况下，那么可以考虑选D~而现在来看，还是E要好一点，因为毕竟没有being~是这个意思吗？

(⊙o⊙)哦，谢谢annie姐姐，我看懂那个解释啦，看来主要原因是在于being作主语和后面the reason的搭配上~~是这个意思吧annie姐姐~

E为什么不加being呢，形容词不是应该加being开头吗，E加being没有D选项动名词作主语的嫌疑啊？
