Why didn't you include this song in your newly released album?
____________could be, it was a poor fit that had to be abandoned.
a) As pedestrian as
b) Being as pedestrian as
c) Having been as pedestrian as
d)It was as pedestrian as
정답은 B인데, as as는 가운데에 형용사나 부사가 안되기 때문에 안되고
d는 동사가 두개이므로 안되고
B와 C중에서 고민되더라구요

c는 분사구문의 시제가 과거완료인데, 지금 주절(it was ~)내에 모든 동사(was/had to)가 과거시제이고 분사구문도 주절과 같은 시제로 해석이 되니까 분사구문도 과거시제가 오는 게(b) 맞아요.
* 참고로, 분사구문을 접속사절로 바꾸면 because it was as pedestrian as could be
*해석:그것은 너무 평범해서, 버려져야 할 잘 맞지 않는 곡이었다.
