OG48题

48. The golden crab of the Gulf of Mexico has not been fished commercially in great numbers, primarily on account of living at great depths-- 2,500 to 3,000 feet down.

(A)on account of living
(B)on account of their living
(C)because it lives
(D)because of living
(E)being they live

OG解释说：As used in choices A, B, and D, the phrases on account of and because of are unidiomatic; because, which appears in C and E, is preferable here since because can introduce a complete subordinate clause explaining the reason why the golden crab has not been fished extensively.这句的意思，好像C和E都是以because开头的，是不是E打错了？应该是because they live吧？
