OG(VR)43

[rainwang]

43. Although she had signed a pledge of abstinence
while being an adolescent, Frances Willard was 35 years old before she chose to become a temperance activist.

(A) while being an adolescent
(B) while in adolescence
(C) at the time of her being adolescent
(D) as being in adolescence
(E) as an adolescent

對於B選項為什麼不行我很疑惑,OG只有寫

While in adoleescence is not the correct idiom for this sentence.

我看了CD上有人寫說B不行是因為while指一小段時間, as才有一長段時間的意思? 真的是因為這樣嗎? 我想確定一下, 謝謝!

I am happy. 不要說成 I am in happiness.

[rainwang]

I am happy. 不要說成 I am in happiness.

d大, 謝謝你的回答!! 所以您辨別要選B或E是以後面adolescent跟adolescence來選擇嗎?
但是我們一般不是滿常用 in my childhood的嗎? 這裡的adolescence跟childhood的用法應該相同, 所以我在選答案時不覺得用in adolescence會怪怪的@@

我也是覺得 in her adolescence 比較不會有時態的問題.
in adolescence 沒有交代時間:她什麼時候 in adolescence?
