首先a选项是个完整的句子,表达的是主谓宾的完整结构.e是个词组,表达的重点在一个名词上,句子重心被改变了,不好.


找了几个例子,参考一下吧:


The objection to due to as a preposition is only a continuation of disagreements that began in the 18th century over the proper uses of owing and due. Due to is as grammatically sound as owing to, which is frequently recommended in its place. It has been and is used by reputable writers and has been recognized as standard for decades. There is no solid reason to avoid due to. (Merriam Webster’s collegiate dictionary)

Personally thinking, please comments:


==============================


becuase of/due to/ on account of在标准书面语中,后面只能加名词或名词短语。


becuase 强调从句整体主谓结构,becuase of/due to/ on account of
强调后面的名词或名词短语,


Because an oversupply of computer chips has sent prices plunging,强调从句, Due to plunging computer chip prices from an oversupply,简化为“由于飙升的价格", 改变原句合理意思, 所以错.

thanks, Flora.


1, because is followed by a clause --> action


2, due to + noun or noun phrase ---> fact
