og12th——33 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, 不明白D选项解释:
D This backward description of the events
behind the announcement of factory
closings is confusing and awkward.
(E) Due to an oversupply, with the result that computer chip prices have been sent plunging,
看了几个对D的解释 感觉说due不能置于句首,because>due to 的这种无绝对性的说法不是很能说服我
OG说backward description is confusing and awkward
还是觉得用因果关系倒置来解释好些。我选错的原因是因为也是想到due to plunging computer prices FROM an oversupply, 但是要直接锁定,D把主句宣布减低产量的直接原因归结到了plunging prices 而不是如A中的an over supply of computer chips
