og48——对ETS解释的疑问

48. The golden crab of the Gulf of Mexico has not been fished commercially in great numbers, primarily on account of living at great depths-- 2,500 to 3,000 feet down. (A) on account of living (B) on account of their living (C) because it lives (D) because of living (E) being they live

OG explanation: As used in choices A, B, and D, the phrases on account of and because of are unidiomatic;because, which appears in C and E, is preferable here since because can introduce a complete subordinate clause explaining the reson why the golden crab has not been fished extensively.....Choice D, like A, fail to provide a noun or pronoun to perform the action of living, but even with its the phrease would e more awkward and less clear than it lives

问题1:why on account of and because of are unidiomatic

问题2:D和A中,living 的主语不可以直接看作主句主语么?谢谢
