【问题一】但是关于because of + sb's doing 是否正确，表示非常困惑！！！！

来看看例题：
是从这道题开始意识到问题的

GWD30-Q41:

Elk now live almost solely in the RockyMountains, which would make it seem that elk are mountain dwellers, while they once ranged over virtually all of the continental United Statesexcept for a small strip in the extreme Southwest.

• Elk now live almost solely in the Rocky      Mountains, which would make it seem that elk are mountain     dwellers, while
  
• The fact that elk now live almost solely in the Rocky Mountains would make it seem that they are     mountain dwellers, but
  
• It would seem that elk would be mountain dwellers because of     their living now solely almost in the Rocky Mountains,     but still
  
• Now living almost solely in the Rocky      Mountains, it would seem that elk were mountain dwellers,     although （B）
  
• It seems that elk would be mountain dwellers from the fact that     they now live solely almost in the Rocky Mountains,     since
  

本题CD的xdjm们说C项问题是becasue of sb's doing错，然而总结GWD的一道题GWD3-Q22，RON大神解释说该形式是对的，并给出example.

we laughed all day because of tony walkinginto the girls' bathroom(X)

we laughed all day because of tony'swalking into the girls' bathroom(V)

这句话想表达的意思是tony的walking使得我们笑，walkinginto the …是原因的一部分，作为动词的作用，因此错。

个人认为GWD30-Q41 有一点细节问题：solely almost错误，应该是almost solely。不知道because of sb's doing是否错。


【问题二】because of +N + doing ，doing修饰N就是正确的，但如何判断是否修饰N？
GWD3-Q22：

On account of a law passed in 1993,making it a crime punishable by imprisonment that a United States citizen hold gold inthe form of bullion or coins, immigrants found that on arrival in the United Statesthey had to surrender all of the gold they had brought with them.

• On account of a law passed in 1993, making it a crime     punishable by imprisonment that a United States citizen hold
  
• With a law passed in 1933 that makes it a crime punishable by     imprisonment that a United       States citizen hold
  
• A law passed in 1933 that made it a crime punishable by     imprisonment for a United       States citizen holding
  
• Because of a law passed in 1933 making it a crime punishable by     imprisonment for a United       States citizen to hold
  
• Due to a law being passed in 1933 that makes it a crime     punishable by imprisonment for a United States citizen to hold (D)
  

making 修饰 law，所以正确。

我想也参考参考OG，这种理解是否正确。然而发现，OG12-76又说了一些难以理解的话... - -

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.

(A) of their sales of a year earlier being so bad as that
(B) of their sales a year earlier having been as bad as because
(C) of their sales a year earlier being as bad as because
(D) their sales a year earlier had been so bad as because
(E) their sales of a year earlier were as bad as that

排除asmuch because … as because 平行因素外：C    This version makes anincorrect comparison between previous sales and shoppers' strategies inNovember; the participial phrase is wordy and awkward. 这种wordy跟awkward是有being引起的，还是因为because of +N + doing 这种修饰方式是wordy、awkward的？
