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,

看了OG解释，也查了很多其他地方，大家对于D解释都是认为逻辑顺序搞错了。D给人的感觉是因为price下降了，所以oversuply了，最后导致工厂关门两天。

lz读了半天D选项，知道D读起来非常别扭，但是plunging prices from oversupply怎么也读不出plunging price导致了oversupply，这不分明说的plunging price from来自于oversupply么？纠结快45分钟了。虽然这道题选对了，但是还是像把主流认为D错误的原因弄明白。

谢谢

D选项两个问题，第一个大问题是语法问题，第二个大问题是句意问题。
1. due to只能用来解释一个名词, 不能用来修饰一整个句子
due to the traffic jam， I was late。这个是错误的，
my late was due to traffic jam. 这个是可以接受的， due to只用来修饰名词，解释一个名词发生的原因。
2. 就算是把due to换成because of，D选项的划线部分的核心句意是什么？
因为一个电脑芯片的价格（因为超额供应而下降），核心意思是括号外面的，括号里面的是修饰语，都是修饰这个芯片价格的。
因为一个价格，厂商就宣布了要减产嘛？
对比正确答案a，because引导了一个从句，表示一个句子，核心意思是
电脑芯片价格因为超额供应而下降，（这一件事情）导致了厂商宣布减产
显然是这件事情导致厂商减产更为合理。
