请问关于belong in 的用法

Rejecting the apprenticeship model of training social workers in philanthropic agencies, twentieth-century reformer Edith Abbott was convinced of social work education belonging in the university so that students could be offered a broad range of courses dealing with social issues.

 

(A) of social work education belonging in the university so that

(B) that social work education should be in the university, and that

(C) about the importance of social work education belonging in the university while

(D) that social work education belonged in the university, where

(E) of the necessity of social work education being in the university and

这道题我一开始在BD中考虑了很久，最后因为觉得belong in的用法不对而选了B。解释上说B错在对逻辑意思的理解，students...应该修饰university而不能和前一句that并列作为convinced的宾语。我觉得这样说法还是不能信服。查阅了字典，belong作动词，要么不能加宾语，要么就要用belong to 加宾语。怎么理解这里的belong in呢？

请NN指导！

问了NN，知道问题原因了。

belong : v. to be properly situated.  ex: This book belongs on the shelf.

所以这里是 social work education belonged （in the university）, in the university 做状语...

明白了！谢谢大家~

我查了m-w,第一个例句是：1
        to have or be in a usual or proper place <your shoes belong in the closet, not out on the floor where people will trip on them>  可见这里的 belong in是完全可以的
