请教OG第235题

excellent

235. Spanning more than fifty years, Friedrich Miiller began his career in an unpromising apprenticeship as a Sanskrit scholar and culminated in virtually every honor that European governments and learned societies could bestow.

(A)Miiller began his career in an unpromising apprenticeship as
(B)Miiller's career began in an unpromising apprenticeship as
(C)Miiller's career began with the unpromising apprenticeship of being
(D)Miiller had begun his career with the unpromising apprenticeship of being
(E)the career of Miiller has begun with an unpromising apprenticeship of

an unpromising apprenticeship
