100.    (29731-!-item-!-188;#058&004378)

Patience Lovell Wright, whose traveling waxworks exhibit preceded Madame Tussaud's work by 30 years, became well known as much because of having an eccentric personality as for having skillfully rendered popular public figures in wax.

(A) well known as much because of having an eccentric personality as for having skillfully rendered popular public figures in wax
(B) well known as much for having an eccentric personality as for her skillful wax renderings of popular public figures
(C) well known as much because of her eccentric personality as she was for her skillful wax renderings of popular public figures
(D) as well known for having an eccentric personality as having skillfully rendered popular public figures in wax
(E) as well known for her eccentric personality as for her skillful wax renderings of popular public figures
答案是E

as...as...前后不是应该对应吗，比如用as for... as for...来对比原因，上题为什么不选B，而把well known放在as...as里面？跪求指导

只看平行的话B没问题，但是个人觉得不idiomatic

首先，for 后面直接跟名词就可以，for having就罗嗦了，就好像as being a human being一样，as a human being更简洁。

其次，B 里面much表示程度修饰well known不好，就像不能说 he is much well known 一样，well known本身就表示程度，直接放在as...as..中间就可以了。欢迎讨论

恩，谢谢指教，小弟理解了~~

不好意思，我有不同看法哦：
B选项：两个"for"后面的结构不平衡啊，并不是有两个“for”就平行了。E选项中两个For后面都是跟的名词结构。

个人认为如果把B选项两个"for"后面的结构修正平衡，意思表达甚至比E还清楚些。

(B) well known as much for having an eccentric personality as for her skillful wax renderings of popular public figures==>这个不平行吧，as much for doing sth.......as for sth
(D) as well known for having an eccentric personality as having skillfully rendered popular public figures in wax==>这个平行的：as well known for doing sth....as doing sth.
