E. Due to a law being passed in 1933 that makes it a crime punishable by imprisonment for a United States citizen to hold





答案选 d, 我隐约觉得D是最好的选项，但是自己没有很明确地排除掉其他几个～
有朋友来帮我一下吗？

A，B：hold主谓不一致
C，两套主谓没有连词
E，due to放句首直接干掉

谢谢！ 是不是只要看到due to在句首都可以秒删了？

呃，基本上是的。顺便附上之前大牛们的一些解释：
Due to可以用attributed to或caused by替代来权衡逻辑上是否合理，其次due to，similar to，differing from等有形容词性质的介词，GMAT中一般不能出现在句首。
aeoluseros补充说明：
1）due to一般作为复杂介词与owing to同义。然而有些人认为due在该组合中是形容词，因此反对下句中的用法，因为它违背了无动词分句的依附规则：
Due to bad weather, classes have been cancelled today.
那些人认为下句是可以的：Cancellation of classes today is due to bad weather.
由于GMAT语法的严格性，due to也不应该被放在句首。
2）due to有attribute, caused by的意思。 Due to means"cause by". It shoud only be used if it can be substitued with "caused by". It did not mean the same thing as "because of", Incorrect: The game was postponed due to rain. Correct: The game was postponed because of rain. Correct: The game's postponement was due to rain.
