Patience Lovell Wright, whose traveling waxworks exhibit preceded Madame Tussaud's work by 30years, became well known as much because of having an eccentric personality as for having skillfully rendered popular public figures in wax.
(A) well known as much because of having an eccentric personality as for having skillfully rendered popular public figures in wax
(B) well known as much for having an eccentric personality as for her skillful wax renderings of popular public figures
(C) 排除
(D) 排除
(E) as well known for her eccentric personality as for her skillful wax renderings of popular public figures

我以为，原句A与E的意思还是有挺大区别的。。。
A是说LW是因为（1）性格怪异和（2）wax renderings这两件事而出名的
E是说LW的（1）性格怪异和（2）wax renderings这两个特点一样著名
所以，当时选了B，因为for也可以表原因，而且，having作为 gerund，也可以平行与名词

跪求大家指正！

I picked E)

A) "because of" + V - ing; Incorrect
B) "having an eccentric personality" is not paralleled to "her skillful wax renderings"; Incorrect.

非常非常感谢ls回复！！！

but,小女不才，在这里斗胆提出一些意见
1.如果我事先知道这道题是考纯平行的话，关于B的解释，我完全同意
但我们也碰到过gerund与noun平行的案例，笔记上也说功能对称也就可以了
SORRY，案例暂时只找到这个。。。
OG-12-119New theories propose that catastrophic impacts of
asteroids and comets may have caused reversals in the Earth’s magnetic field, the onset of ice ages,the splitting apart of continents，80 million years ago, and great volcanic eruptions.
2.从逻辑意思上想，我还是很困惑

我觉得B错，是不是因为现在分词having找不到动作的发出者

crazyxxx · 发表于 2010-6-10 16:47:38

那如果have做拥有解释呢？
Patience Lovell Wright had an eccentric personality.这个也是正确的。。。
我觉得关键还是在对称吧。。。B选项中，如果前面是for having an eccentric personality 后面就应该是for having skillfully rendered popular public figures in wax.

很辛苦的在PREP上找了一个功能性并列的例子！！！！！！！！！！！！
According to one expert, the cause of genetic irregularities in many breeds of dog is not so much that dogs are being bred for looks or to meet other narrow criteria as that the breeds have relatively few founding members.
平行的案例
多谢LS两位好心人回复，thanks so much,可也再次请求赐教！
open to discuss

OG-12-119"New theories propose that catastrophic impacts of asteroids and comets may have caused reversals in the Earth’s magnetic field, the onset of ice ages,the splitting apart of continents，80 million years ago, and great volcanic eruptions."

Okay, here is the catch. There are two types of gerund: the simple gerund, which is often followed by a noun, such as "tasting beer", and the complex gerund, which is often preceded by article (a, an, or the), such as "the beer tasting" and "a rising star." By rule, ONLY COMPLEX gerund can be made paralleled to action nouns.

For example, in the example above. "reversals"(action noun), "the onset"(action noun), "the splitting apart of continents" (complex gerund)

Let me know whether you have any other questions.

谢谢silent，你的解释令我获益匪浅，thanks for your warm-hearted help
允许我追问一下，本句我所说的语义问题是否本来就不该被考虑？如果从纯语法角度可以解题的话，是否也不一定要追究distort the meaning问题？

thanks!
实在很困了。。。先回去睡觉了。。。

不客气。
You should consider the distortion of the meaning ONLY IF you have two or more grammatically correct sentences. Put differently, this is a last thing you should concern.
