Even though it was not illegal for the bank to share its customers' personal and financial information with an outside marketing company in return for a commission on sales, the state's attorney general accused the bank of engaging in deceptive business practices by failing to honor its promise to its customers to keep records private.
by failing to honor its promise to its customers to keep
by its failure of honoring its promise to its customers to keep
in its failing to honor its promise to its customers of keeping
because of its failure in honoring its promise to its customers in keeping
because of its failure to honor its promise to its customers of keeping
【转自RON及KMF大神】
two things:
(1) incorrect idiom: \'promise of keeping\' is wrong. the correct form is \'promise to keep\'.
(2) change in meaning: the correct meaning is what appears in the original sentence, namely, that the failure to honor promises WAS the deceptive business practice. choice e, with its use of \'because\', implies that the failure to keep promises LED TO (other) deceptive business
DE改变了句意:
正确的意思是:原句:failure to honor promises本身是deceptive business practice
而E选项用了because之后,句意变为:failure to keep promises 导致了deceptive business
