问题 The following questions present a sentence, part of which or all of which is underlined. Beneath the sentence, you will find five ways of phrasing the underlined part. The first of these repeats the original; the other four are different. If you think the original is best, choose the first answer; otherwise choose one of the others.
   These questions test correctness and effectiveness of expression. In choosing your answer, follow the requirements of standard written English; that is, pay attention to grammar, choice of words, and sentence construction. Choose the answer that produces the most effective sentence; this answer should be clear and exact, without awkwardness, ambiguity, redundancy, or grammatical error.
Although he played several musical instruments while being a child, Maestro Macintosh did not begin playing the piano until he was 23 years old.

选项 A、while being a child
B、as a child
C、as in childhood
D、at the time of his childhood
E、at the time when he was a child

答案B

解析 A is unidiomatic, and C does not make sense in the context of the sentence. D and E both suggest that there was a single time when he was a child, rather than an extended period. B is the clearest and most concise choice.
