74. Growing competitive pressures may be encouraging auditors to bend the rules in favor of clients; auditors may, for instance, allow a questionable loan to remain on the books in order to maintain a bank's profits on paper.

(A) clients; auditors may, for instance, allow

(B) clients, as an instance, to allow

(C) clients, like to allow

(D) clients, such as to be allowing

(E) clients; which might, as an instance, be the allowing of

The first independent clause of the sentence describes a general situation; in A, the best choice, a second independent clause clearly and grammatically presents an example of this circum­stance. Choice B uses as an instance ungrammatically: as an instance requires of to form such idiomatic constructions as "She cited x as an instance of y." Also, this construction cannot link infinitives such as to bend and to allow. The infinitive is again incorrect in C and D. C misuses like, a comparative preposition, to introduce an example. D requires by in place of to be. E, aside from being wordy and imprecise, uses the pronoun which to refer vaguely to the whole preceding clause rather than to a specific noun referent.

1、为什么这里要用as an instance of ？

2、as an instance这里不是作为插入语吗？

其他选项问题已解决，貌似这一个问题还没有得到解答，问的有点水，可是不明白阿

这题的答案是A啊

OG的意思是如果要用as an instance这个形式的话必须要+of，这里用A就可以了。没说要用as an instance of
