以下是引用gemj在2003-9-9 9:43:00的发言：
在解释差异或说明有何特别之处时，in that比because更贴切。而且，主要是用在这个时候。下面是几个例子。

12. The Olympic Games helped to keep peace among the pugnacious states of the Greek world in that a sacred truce was proclaimed during the festival’s month.
(A) world in that a sacred truce was proclaimed during the festival’s month
(B) world, proclaiming a sacred truce during the festival’s month
(C) world when they proclaimed a sacred truce for the festival month
(D) world, for a sacred truce was proclaimed during the month of the festival
(E) world by proclamation of a sacred truce that was for the month of the festival
A中in that使用不当,它一般用于表示相同或不同之处的原因.另外被动也不好。

festival可以作形容词，所以只有c正确

另外proclaim这个词很有意思，其动作发出者可以是人，也可以是人的行为或者属性

补充一点：根据石林语法：in that不能用在句首，而because可以

谢谢sbbi和安哥哥的夸奖，其实我挺崇拜你们的，因为你们的工作和才华是那么的出色，从你们身上我看到了中国的希望！
关于我的性别，就比较曲折了。
我本来是个男的，但是因为没有钱，所以就经常怀疑自己还是不是个男人。但又知道自己确实不是个女的，所以经常有一种不男不女的感觉。在这种不男不女的迷茫和恍惚之中，有时又仿佛觉得自己是个女的，这就是有时以“小女子”自称的原因。
至于885上写的是妹妹，是指作品本身，不是指我自己。
再次感谢安哥哥，其实我真想当个女的，因为安哥哥。倒不是有什么非份之想，能与安哥在性别上构成对照，这本身就是一种幸福啊！

建议采用此段文字作为中文GMAT的考题（作者态度排在第一题），暂拟于2015年推出；大家一起努力啊！

OG 11 Explanation:

Choice B is awakward and imprecise in that the referent for the pronoun it is not immediately clear.

Does it also have the meaning of difference or special meaning?

Idiom + Rhetorical construction

This sentence depends on using the correct conjunction to join two independent clauses. In that is a conjunction that means inasmuch as; because in that has largely gone out of use, it is considered stilted and overly formal. It also uses two words when one would do. In this sentence, the second clause explains the first one, so the conjunction for; meaning because, is the most appropriate choice for joining the tow independent clauses of the compound sentence.

A  In that is stilted and overly formal

B  It is not clear who would be doing the proclaiming; a clause is preferable to a phase here

C  They is ambiguous, possibly referring to either the states or the Games

D  Correct. In this sentence, the conjunction for joins the two clauses correctly and economically.

E  Wordy and awkward construction

The correct answer is D.

刚打出来的，有错提醒我。

以上是Carolhide贴出来的OG11的解释，提醒一下大家，这道题以前给出的答案错了。而且解释里也提到了in that 与because的区别，请大家留意。

MM动作真快，我一边打的时候就想讨论这个问题了，我们以前一直觉得in that比because更贴切更正式，但是现在OG解释它已基本过时了。还有最近发现了一些大全答案与新OG给出的答案不一致啊！

Evelyn2005

不好意思，抢在你前头了。：-)

in that: FORMAL used before a phrase that gives more information about the limited way in which the rest of the sentence is true

The new system is similar to the old one in that there is still a strong central government.

because: for the reason that

Mark couldn't come because he had to work.

两者的意思是不太一样的。
