2. Hurricanes at first begin traveling from east to west, because that direction is the
way the prevailing winds in the tropics blow, but they then veer off toward higher
latitudes, in many cases changing direction toward the east before dissipating over
the colder, more northerly waters or over land.
(A) Hurricanes at first begin traveling from east to west, because that
direction is the way the prevailing winds in the tropics blow, but
(B) At first, hurricanes travel from east to west, because that is the direction
of the prevailing winds in the tropics, but
(C) While hurricanes travel from east to west at first, the direction of the
prevailing winds blowing in the tropics, and
(D) Because hurricanes at first travel from east to west, since it is the
direction of the prevailing winds in the tropics,
(E) Hurricanes, beginning by traveling from east to west, because this is the
direction of the prevailing winds in the tropics,
如题，之前有看语法（好像是白勇说that不可以作主语，那么想请问一下that this those这种可以作主语吗？

屡战屡败

我的看法：
自己也不是很清楚，求大神解答！！！！！！！！！
Hurricanes at first begin traveling from east to west, because that direction is the way the prevailing winds in the tropics blow, but they then veer off toward higher latitudes, in many cases changing direction toward the east before dissipating over the colder, more northerly waters or over land.
汉语意思：飓风一般从东到西运动，因为这个方向是盛行风在热带吹的方向，但是他们随后突然转向高纬度，在很多情况下在被北方的更冷的水和陆地驱散前转向东方运动。
(A) Hurricanes at first begin traveling from east to west, because that direction is the way the prevailing winds in the tropics blow, but
我觉得because在这里修饰的是前面一整个句子，字面意思其实because是在修饰 that direction（from E to W），产生歧义。
(B) At first, hurricanes travel from east to west, because that is the direction of the prevailing winds in the tropics, but
at first 被拿出去后效果变好了，because修饰方向，歧义少了。
(C) While hurricanes travel from east to west at first, the direction of the prevailing winds blowing in the tropics, and
while引导的句子必须前后都有主语，逗号之间的句子少了谓语。
(D) Because hurricanes at first travel from east to west, since it is the direction of the prevailing winds in the tropics,
because 和since 意思重复了。
(E) Hurricanes, beginning by traveling from east to west, because this is the direction of the prevailing winds in the tropics,
begining那个句子修饰飓风没问题，但是because那个句子修饰前面的方向，混乱。也造成了hurricane没有谓语，句子不完整。

按照manhattan 6th134-135<代词>中有说You may also use that or those to indicate a "new copy" or copies of the antecedent；而且Finally, on the GMAT, do not use this or these in place of nouns. A sentence such as This is
great is unacceptably vague to the GMAT. Also, do not use that or those in place of nouns,
unless you modify that or those to make them new copies. Instead, use it, they, or them.
