(Because an oversupply of computer chips has sent prices plunging), the manufacturer has announced that it will cut production by closing its factories for two days a month.
A Because an oversupply of computer chips has sent prices plunging
B Because of plunging prices for computer chips, which is due to an oversupply
C Because computer chip prices have been sent plunging, which resulted from an oversupply
D Due to plunging computer chip prices from an oversupply
E Due to an oversupply, with the result that computer chip prices have been sent plunging
正确答案: A
due to 后面不可以接句子，但是D选项plunging computer chips prices from an oversupply是一个短语，并不是句子，也不可以用due to来引导吗？作者: lindberghya 时间: 2013-12-2 14:51
due to 前后都必须是名词，所以放句首必错，因为后面肯定是加句子的，这样就达不到名词+due to+名词
参考prep08 195. (GWD-7-Q13) （一下摘录自PREP 08）
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 doed 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. 作者: MsL 时间: 2013-12-2 16:37
