At the end of the 1930s, Duke Ellington was looking for a composer to assist him—someone not only who could arrange music for his successful big band, But mirroring his eccentric writing style as well in order to finish the many pieces he had started but never completed.

E的解析中说，最好用in order to finish表因果目的关系
这句话的意思是说", finishing"也可以接受，但是不是最好吗

本人不是大神。
但小弟觉得LZ想多了= =
表目的用to do或in order to do
V-ing适用于修饰preceding clause的，一般要么表示同时发生的additional information，要么表示前句这个action的结果，不能用于表目的。LZ仔细看一下，从A中我们知道要表示的是一个purpose，用finishing的话，合乎intended meaning么，显然不~

V-ing可以表示伴随，表示结果，但是几乎没见过表目的的~
