"对于in that和because的区别(ron的解释):
X because Y means that there is an actual CAUSE-EFFECT RELATIONSHIP, in which Y is/was the actual CAUSE of X.
X in that Y is a LIMITING STATEMENT. in these statements, x is usually something very general, but then the sentence LIMITS that statement to the scope of whatever Y is.
here are a couple of examples.
joe is a typical teenager in that he likes to watch a great deal of television.
--> MEANING: joe shares one thing with typical teenagers: namely, he likes to watch a lot of tv.
joe is a typical teenager because he likes to watch a great deal of television.
--> MEANING: joe's tv shows have actually CAUSED him to BECOME LIKE other teenagers.
A选项的错误:well, ""in that"" doesn't really make sense in that problem. the relationship in that problem is cause-effect, not limiting, so ""because"" (or ""for"", as in the correct answer) is more appropriate.
short answer: whether in that is ""stilted"" or ""overly formal"" is really irrelevant; the point is that it doesn't make sense in this sentence anyway.
