这里 as 和 because 的用法看不懂。。

此题是as much as 短语的考察，两个because是as...as...中间的内容，as 和because 没关系的

dumengxuan

这里as much ....... as .......   这一句是什么意思？

把D换上去
Retailers reported moderate gains in their November sales, as much because their sales a year earlier had been so bad as because shoppers were getting a head start onbuying their holiday gifts.

这里是平行结构，as much...as后面都用because，结构清晰。如果选择其他选项，要不是because of和because不平行，就是中间插入as bad as引起歧义。不知道后面那个as是与as much as搭配还是和as bad as搭配的。
