刚才发贴不对，更正一下：

OG11-51原文解释，倾向于避免用IN THAT.

The Olympic Games helped to keep peace among the pugnacious states of the Greek world in that a sacred
   truce was proclaimed during the festival's month.

(A)         world in that a sacred truce was proclaimed during the festival's month

(B)         world, proclaiming a sacred truce during the festival's month

(C)        world when they proclaimed a sacred truce for the festival month

(D)        world, for a sacred truce was proclaimed during the month of the festival

(E)         world by proclamation of a sacred truce that was for the month of the festival

Idiom + Rhetorical construction

This sentence depends on using the correct conjunction
   to join two independent clauses.
  In that is a conjunction
   that means inasmuch as; because
  in that has largely gone
   out of use, it is considered stilted and overly formal. It also
   uses two words when one would do. In this sentence, the
   second clause explains the first one, so the conjunction
  for, meaning because, is the most appropriate choice for joining the two independent clauses of the compound sentence.

A        In that is stilted and overly formal

B        It is not clear who would be doing the proclaiming, a clause is preferable to a phrase here

C        They is ambiguous, possibly referring to either the states or the Games

D       Correct. In this sentence, the conjunction for joins the two clauses correctly and economically.

E        Wordy and awkward construction

The correct answer is D.
