Retailers reported moderate gains in their November sales, as much because of their sales of a year earlier being so bad as that shoppers were getting a head start on buying their holiday gifts.

of their sales of a year earlier being so bad as that
of their sales a year earlier having been as bad as because
of their sales a year earlier being as bad as because
their sales a year earlier had been so bad as because
their sales of a year earlier were as bad as that

看了解释还是不明白选d，能翻一下么

哈哈，这个题我刚看到了！BCE的as bad as放在这个句子里面是不对的。看最前面的as much...它应该是和后面的as一起的。如果你加了as bad，句子不通而且多余，根本没有as bad这个东西。下面引用Ron大神的话：
“"as much ... as ..." is a parallel structure. therefore, the presence of "because" in both parts signals valid parallelism. it's actually a very good thing.                                                
* improper parallelism (as much because X as that Y)
* "as bad as" sets up a comparison, which doesn't have a second half in this case (you can't just say "as bad" by itself; you have to mention ... as bad as what else. by contrast, "so bad" can be used by itself, as it is in the correct answer here; "so ADJ" is not a comparison.)”
而且这个句子本意是要说明零销商在11月销售gains的两个可行原因：这两个原因说明时应该用平行结构~欢迎拍砖！建议你哦，看看DUKB斑竹的千行SC~很好很强大！
