[求助]OG 175

175. Two new studies indicate that many people become obese more due to the fact that their bodies burn calories too slowly than overeating.

(A)  due to the fact that their bodies burn calories too slowly than overeating

(B)  due to their bodies burning calories too slowly than to eating too much

(C)  because their bodies bum calories too slowly than that they are overeaters

(D)  because their bodies bum calories too slowly than because they eat too much

(E)   because of their bodies burning calories too slowly than because of their eating too much

The members of a comparison (more X than Y) should be expressed in parallel form. D, the best choice, correctly uses parallel clauses introduced by because. The clauses them­selves are clear and direct. Choice E uses parallel forms, but the convoluted structures are awkward and wordy. Furthermore, the word bodies would need an apostrophe (bodies') since it is the logical subject of the gerund burning (that is, it answers the question, "Whose burning?"). A, B, and C do not use parallel forms for the two members of the comparison. In addition, A and B use due to unidiomatically to mean because; properly used, due to is synonymous with attributable to.

还是不能够理解 due to 和 because 的用法区别。请NN们指点

due to = because of,   借此词组， 后接名词

because, conj. 接完整句子

多用 because, 少用 due to, because of
