1）unlike 要求比较对象对等，B mainstream American businesses 和 failure rate 比较不对等了～～

2）题我也做错了，这里我有一点不理解～Galileo......,but....,he....这里不是有两个独立的句子了？是不是因为有BUT的关系？？？
我查了查外国的manhattan论坛～他们这样讲的～Galileo did not invent X, but on hearing that (someone did invent X), he built his own device.

I did not invent the GMAT, but on hearing that such a test had been made, I quickly developed my own practice GMAT software.

B uses wrong tense (had not invented), wrong idiom (heard... of), and wrong tense again (having been made)
C is not a complete sentence (it basically says: Galileo, on hearing, he quickly built...).
D changes the meaning - he didn't build a telescope "even though" he didn't invent it. "Even though" indicates some kind of cause-effect connection. The original sentence is just telling us - he wasn't the inventor but he did build one soon after its invention.
E repeats multiple errors already discussed above

求讨论指教～

B, “made，”后面的句子片段即“quickly built his own device from an organ pipe and spectacle lenses”缺少主语。C.Galileo和最后一个he重复，产生句子片段。D.错误同B，“quickly built his own device from an organ pipe and spectacle lenses”缺主语。E.Being made 太wordy了。
