OG12版135题
Spanning more than 50 years, Friedrich Müllerbegan his career in an unpromising apprenticeship as a Sanskrit scholar andculminated in virtually every honor that European government and learnedsocieties could bestow.
B. Müller’s career began in an unpromising apprenticeshipas
C. Müller’s career began with theunpromising apprenticeship of being
D. Müller had begun his career with theunpromising apprenticeship of being
E. the career of Müller has begun with anunpromising apprenticeship of
正确答案是B。关于答案为什么是B我能自己分辨出来，只是对E的解释不很理解。E中说：Müller’s career is preferable to thecareer of Müller。我记得前面许多题中关于所有格好像大部分 the B of A 都比A’s B 好，此处是因为其他的原因吗？还是GMAT中本来就更偏向于A’s B结构？

同问，记得白勇里面说无生命的东西偏向于B OF A 结构的，难道是因为这里Muller是一个人，所以倾向于用Muller‘s career? 我想也有可能是这个原因吧

这个是比较明显的错误。我能排除得到答案B， 难道OG后面的解释说“Muller's career is preferable to the career of Muller”仅仅是因为划线前面是Friedrich而不是因为GMAT倾向于选the A of B?

Before the underline part, the word is "Friedrich", E doesn't match here.

我记得XDF的老师讲过在某些特定结构中只能用of的所有格（the B of A），比如后面有A的同位语时或后面有代词指代A时。那如果没有这些情况时是倾向于选择A's B吗？
