还没有题目讲解（毕出老师会陆续发布对官方考题的解读，请保持关注）。
A中第一个to指向对象，第二个to指明promise的内容，正确。
并不是因为because of本身有什么问题，而是because of这个因果关系在原句会产生歧义，because of 既可以理解为动作accuse的原因，也可以理解为engage in的原因，作为作者，句子一定是要避免类似被误解的可能。
原意思：用‘没有信守承诺...’告银行商业欺诈。即商业欺诈就是没有信守承诺。（换个易懂的例子，用偷东西这件事在法庭上告小偷偷窃，偷东西就是偷窃，而不是偷东西造成了偷窃。）总而言之就原文想表达的逻辑语义并不是（并没有）因果关系所以不能用because of。
所以（e）：商业欺诈是由没信守承诺造成。是错的，商业欺诈指的就是没信守承诺这件事，而不是没信守承诺的结果。
具体来说，就是engage的方式是by failing to xxx
应该是通过XX方式参与了欺骗的行为 而不是因为XX，所以参与了欺骗的行为
C in doing不能表示方式
B 中出现了its指代问题，而且fail to do更加习惯
the failure of doing sth 不如fail to do sth简洁。而且GMAT偏向于动词
c. its failing < failure
(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 practices. remember that you have to interpret words like 'because' very, very literally.

fail to do sth表示没有做某事
fail of doing表示做失败了
文中应该指银行没有维护客户信息而不是银行维护客户信息失败了
