OG12-135 关于begin with/begin in 的用法

victoria_cc

135. Spanning more than 50 years, Friedrich Müller began his career in an unpromising apprenticeship as a Sanskrit scholar and culminated in virtually every honor that European governments and learned societies could bestow.

(A) Müller began his career in an unpromising apprenticeship as
(B) Müller’s career began in an unpromising apprenticeship as
(C) Müller’s career began with the unpromising apprenticeship of being
(D) Müller had begun his career with the unpromising apprenticeship of being
(E) the career of Müller has begun with an unpromising apprenticeship of

答案：B.
对于逻辑主语和答案没有疑问，请问begin with和begin in 的区别，在这里是否可以互换，应该如何理解此句中begin和后面apprenticeship的连接及修饰关系~
以前的帖子没看明白，请牛牛相助~

began in 不是搭配短语，是为了照顾这个career starts in somewhere;而如果说begin with 的话应该是 muller began with  sth 表示 muller第一次做学徒。

先感谢~
我查了Manhattan，确实没有begin in 的用法，正确的用法只有begin as 和begin with.
例句：The movement BEGAN AS a protest. (= was born as)
      The movement BEGAN WITH a protest. (=protest was the first part)
      The protest BEGAN a movement.(= caused)
但是我还有一个疑问，Manhattan说begin with 的意思是the first part. 所以逻辑主体应该不能是人，对么？如果按照你说muller began with  sth.那么begin with的动作执行者是人。我还是不明白，请指教~谢谢~

同LZ问题，这块是不是
B. M's career began(in apprenticeship)as，不是began in用法
C.主要是因为of being错了，如果改成as是不是就对了呢？

我也有问题 span的主语为何不能是muller？

IESE

span是跨越，持续的意思，career跨越持续50多年，8是muller~
