标题: OG 12. Page 687 SC 6
In late 1997, the chambers inside the pyramid of the Pharaoh Menkaure at Giza were closed to visitors for cleaning and repair due to moisture exhaled by tourists, which raised its humidity to such levels so that salt from the stone was crystallizing and fungus was growing on the walls.
A) due to moisture exhaled by tourists, which raised its humidity to such levels so that salt from the stone was crystallizing
B) due to moisture that tourists had exhaled, thereby raising its humidity to such levels that salt from the stone would crystallize
C) because tourists were exhaling moisture, which had raised the humidity within them to levels such that salt from the stone would crystallize
D) becase of moisture that was exhaled by tourists raising the humidity within them to levels so high as to make the salt from the stone crystallize
E) because moisture exhaled by tourists had raised the humidity within them to such levels that salt from the stone was crystallizing

E is correct.

實在不是不理解為什麼 " Due to is an imprecise expression of the causual connection between the tourists' breath and the closing of the musem for cleaning..."
還有解釋說" The phrase due to makes this casual sequence somewhat ambiguous, seeming to suggest that repaire were due to humidity from visitors' breath."
想知道 due to, because, 和 because of 的區別是什麼。
我分析的時候,1,2,3,4感覺都是有歧義,因為不知道到底是 tourist raising the humidity 還是 moisture raising the humidity 因為這個原因才選的E。但是怎麼都不理解的是 due to, because, because of的區別。
謝謝各位大大。

and fungus was growing on the walls 和划线部分要平行 B的the stone would crystallize 和C的the stone would crystallize 还有D的stone crystallize 都破坏了平行结构 首先排除

剩下A和E A的错误我觉得有3点:1是its按句意应该和chambers对应 所以应该用their;2是due to的对象容易让人理解成为就近的repair;3 which在GMAT中不能指代一个句子,并且容易让人理解which的对象是就近的tourists

感觉指代是GMAT中常考的点 现在看到it that which 都很小心 稍微感觉有点ambiguous都不敢选了
