求助好心人：OG 13 SC 33 选项D

土玫瑰 · 发表于 2013-2-8 10:41:07

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,
(E) Due to an oversupply, with the result that computer chip prices have been sent plunging,

我本来选了D，但是正确答案是A。但是关于OG上D的解释，我怎么想都想不懂。
OG解释： D This backward description of the events behind the announcement of factory closing is confusing and awkward.

有哪位大神能帮帮我吗？非常感谢~~

非大牛，自己的一点看法
从语义上A&D有差别
A是说因为芯片太多了价格下跌（这是一个整体的事件）----》制造商决定减少生产时间（即减少产量）
而
D
with是由comma分割的修饰成分可以去掉
那么制造商决定减少生产的原因就是：芯片太多
语义上是不同的。
我总觉得with the result 很奇怪，不知道原因？求解释。帮顶！

首先，当出现because, because of, due to 的时候，because 要优于because of 和due to。这是一个一般规律。这样直接就排除了B,D,E.剩下A和C，明显的主动是优于被动的。在A和C都没有语法硬伤错的时候，优选A。

because指下降这件事，而due to的核心原因是个词，改变了原意

due to=caused by,由于其有形容词词性，所以在GMAT中不用于句首~当然楼上有几位说的逻辑错误也是对的~ 但是due to本身肯定错，这一点毋庸置疑~

due to表示“因为。。。，所以。。。”，其中“所以”这里是结果，之后又用了with the result，又表示结果，所以才会很奇怪~

学到了~~谢谢

我查了一下，due to 现在普遍可以放在句首，请问GMAT中有相关的明确说明不能放在句首么？

PREP破解都是这样说的，due to 不在句首（包括分句）

The parent-teacher meeting was canceled due to heavy rains. – INCORRECT
‘Due to’ modifies the action in the preceding clause and hence is not used correctly.

The parent-teacher meeting was canceled caused by heavy rains. – INCORRECT
Note how when “due to” is replaced with “caused by”, the sentence no longer makes sense.

The parent-teacher meeting was canceled because of heavy rains. – CORRECT
‘because of’ modifies the action in preceding clause, indicating why the meeting was canceled.

The cancellation of parent-teacher meeting was due to heavy rains. – CORRECT
‘Due to’ modifies the noun – cancellation.

The cancellation of parent-teacher meeting was caused by heavy rains.- CORRECT
Note how when “due to” is replaced with “caused by”, the sentence makes complete sense.
