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
题目分析：
本题的大概意思为：
零售商报告其在11月销售温和上扬，一方面因为他们去年同期销售很糟糕，另一方面因为购物者都开始购买的节日礼物。
本题一定要先把意思看懂，as much because….as because...是正确的，在第一个because内部，说的是their sales a year earlier had been so bad。换句话说，so bad和其身后的as并不是连用的，之间没有任何关系，而是as much as连用。
选项分析：
A选项：平行触发语as much…as…结构不平行，应将that改为because of（当然，改了之后它连接句子就不对了，这是另外一个事情了）。
另外，because of是介词，其身后只能接名词，所以整个because of their sales of a year earlier being so bad的核心词是sales。但在逻辑上，增长的原因应该是“早期销量太差”这个事件，而不是销量本身。
B选项：平行触发语as much…as…结构不平行；as bad应改为so bad，so bad是可以自己单独使用的，但是as bad身后必须再跟一个as来表示比较；核心词错误同选项(A)。
C选项：本选项错误同选项(B)。
D选项：Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
E选项：as bad应改为so bad；平行触发语as much…as…结构不平行，应将that改为because。
1.idiom:beacuse of用法错误，因为不是因为sales，而是因为sales were bad这件事，ABC错。
2.平行，as...as..平行，as much because ...as because...AE错
3.动词时态，have been和being都是错的，因为这里是拿11月的跟过去的比，那么过去的就应该用过去完成时才对，ABCE错。
平行触发语as much…as…

as much (because...) as (because...)
平行触发语as much…as…
as much (because so bad) as (because)
as much because….as because...
一方面因为。。。另一方面因为。。。
head，头部的，顶端的，主要的；get a head start on sth，抢占先机。
下次选完要把正确选项带回原文再通读一遍，不然很容易在各选项的对错分析中忽略掉了句子的整体性。
as bad应改为so bad
as much…as…结构不平行，应将that改为because
as much because ....as because ...
as much as 平行触发语。as much because A as becuase B，一方面由于A，另一方面由于B，记住。
mark
as much because….as because..并列
E
* 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.)
as 。。as。。平行
as much 。。 as 。。结构前后平行
as much because。。。as because。。
有过去的过去应当用过去完成时
平行，俩原因比较，后面那半拉是句子，ABC错。Ethat不平行，错。
