OG-74

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
答案A. "D requires by in place of to be."  这是OG中的一句关于D选项的解释, 如果真的这么改了, 原句变成Growing competitive pressures may be encouraging auditors to bend the rules in favor of clients, such as by allowing a questionable loan to remain on the books in order to maintain a bank's profits on paper. 这时, by allowing的逻辑主语不会产生歧异吗? 比如主语是pressures?
好困惑!

我觉得OG的意思是说to be在这里是错的，换成by才在语法用词上成立

     但是并不是说换成by，D选项就对了

     此外，D改后的句子中，such as到底是修饰什么，我也不清楚

     个人观点，大家讨论

这里的such as by allowing...应该是修饰句子主语pressures的, 因为such as前面有逗号隔开, 并且by allowing是主动形式, 对应句子主语更好.

请大家讨论......
