质疑：语法最新题10

10。 Young female ballet dancers and gymnasts sometimes fail to maintain good eating habits caused by the desire to be as thin as possible.

(D) Because they desire to be as thin as possible, young female ballet dancers and gymnasts sometimes fail to maintain good eating habits.
(E) Young female ballet dancers and gymnasts sometimes fail to maintain good eating habits because they desire to be as thin as possible.
给出的答案是d), 其实e)中的they也不会造成混乱指代，优先指代主句主语，而且e)不会造成主次颠倒， 为什么d) 优选呢？恳请指点。

is E not clear?I think "they "in D is confusing.

大家看过的人发表发表意见吧，好郁闷。。。。。。。。。。。
GEMJ 老大说过，讨论讨论总会有收获的。

如果说they有指代不明的问题的话, D和E都有. 但是D用逗号把从句和主句分开, 句子表达比E清晰.

because ... not  和 not ... because 不同，意思不同

D中的代词they指代主句的主语，young female ballet dancers and gymnasts
E中的代词they会有嫌疑-优先指代离它最近的habits，造成歧义
