答
楼主分析的已经比较详尽了,这道题应该选择A,是出于语义上的考虑.
对于A选项,这里并不是because they were determined省略,而是 determined 这里是过去分词化的形容词, 表示“坚定的”,这个形容词修饰句子的主语 they,做整个句子的状语.类似的用法还有：
Happy to hear the news, I can't help smiling. 我非常高兴地听到这个消息,我忍不住微笑起来.
而B选项翻译出来就是,为了使自己下定决心按时完成工作,他们立即开始工作.
感觉上不如： 他们已经下定决心了要按时工作,所以他们立马开始工作.也就是A选项的翻译.
希望能帮到你O(∩_∩)O
