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

The second part of the sentence explains the first: the crab is not fished because it lives at great depths. The clearest and most direct way of showing the relationship between the two parts of the sentence is to use because to introduce a subordinate clause.

A On account of living is awkward and wordy
B On account of is awkward and wordy; their does not agree with crab
C Correct. Using because to introduce a subordinate clause is the best way to show the effect-cause relation of the two parts of this sentence.
D Because of living is not the correct idiom
E Being is neither logical nor idiomatic; they does not agree with crab The correct sentence is C.

Vineeth: Oh yeah! The study method consists of a good mix of case studies and classroom lectures. The number and quality of contacts that MIP has in the business world is impressive.
