1. On account of a law passed in 1993, making it a crime punishable by imprisonment that a United States citizen hold

2. With a law passed in 1933 that makes it a crime punishable by imprisonment that a United States citizen hold

3. A law passed in 1933 that made it a crime punishable by imprisonment for a United States citizen holding

4. Because of a law passed in 1933 making it a crime punishable by imprisonment for a United States citizen to hold

5. Due to a law being passed in 1933 that makes it a crime punishable by imprisonment for a United States citizen to hold

   Answer: B

此题不选D,是因为此题中没有因果关系吗?

如果从结果的简洁程度讲,我觉得D比B简洁一些啊?

看错了，LZ说的是D？ 怎么E标成红色了？

我看D非但不简洁，反而比B还要罗嗦。

当然关键还是With的用法更准确，我个人这么认为。

because of後不可接句子

because of +N或N片語

可是答案D后面没有接句子啊?

另外,

名词片语是什么意思啊?

D, a law passed...making...

名词后连续跟两个形容这个名词的分词，不合适

应该把其中一个分词改成从句，这样读起来才明白易懂

这题很明显是因果关系
First, "with a law passed" in B sounds wired,
Second,  if it is not fatal,  "makes it" in B should be "made it", the whole sentence is in past tense.
Thrid, "that......that...." in B totally flawed

IMO, D is the best choice.
