Dear Friends,
Here is a detailed explanation to this question-
Choice A: This answer choice utilizes the overly wordy and awkwardly constructed phrase "For the reason that". Thus, this answer choice is not a very good one.
Choice B: This answer choice is the most concise and correctly conveys the intended meaning of the sentence. Thus, this answer choice is correct.
Choice C: This answer choice uses the word "being" in a phrase that is neither a noun phrase nor reflective of the passive continuous verb tense; therefore, the use of "being" is redundant although it is technically correct. Thus, this answer choice is not a very good one.
Choice D: This answer choice incorrectly uses the phrase "On account of" to refer to the action "is quite young and therefore many years away from retirement"; the correct construction of this phrase is "On account of the fact that", as this phrase must refer to a noun or noun phrase. Thus, this answer choice is incorrect.
Choice E: This answer choice incorrectly uses the phrase "In that" to convey a cause-effect relationship between the "senior tenured faculty's" youth and the "junior faculty's" difficulty in securing tenure. Thus, this answer choice is incorrect.
Hence, B is the best answer choice.
