Help on question from DEC SAT I

I have one confusion on Question1 on Writing MC:

By the time he was 60, he _______ dancing in the theater; he would retire 2 years later.
A. has already been
) X% v; J! [0 f( E: U% RB. was already
C. will be already
D. having been already
0 Q  F! e' G$ y% K7 m+ T3 YE. was already having been
8 L" c3 a7 }- h  F9 S5 S5 v# d: K
I don't know which one was correct. This questions confused me for a long time. I thought it was misprinting?
Anyone who saw this on the test can help me clarify the question?

I'm 100% sure I didn't see this on my version of SAT
. B3 P( I5 @& z  e7 P
4 g/ @0 w& e9 K( V, p: |! L+ ~0 \应该是B，等语法高人出现
# c# M. v& V" j& ~
since the sentence itself is in pass tense, so eliminate a and c. choice d needs a verb and choice e is a complex expression, so the answer should be b.
( [  j0 P# x: X; p+ F
2 h4 {2 X7 h( r5 ^6 F[ 本帖最后由 solv6868 于 2006-12-3 07:35 编辑 ]

misprinting? This is #1 on MC, which should be very very easy!!!
