In late 1997, the chambers inside the pyramid of the Pharaoh Menkaure at Giza were closed to visitors for cleaning and repair due to moisture exhaled by tourists, which raised its humidity to such levels so that salt from the stone was crystallizing and fungus was growing on the walls.



A. due to moisture exhaled by tourists, which raised its humidity to such levels so that salt from the stone was crystallizing



B. due to moisture that tourists had exhaled, thereby raising its humidity to such levels that salt from the stone would crystallize



C. because tourists were exhaling moisture, which had raised the humidity within them to levels such that salt from the stone would crystallize



D. because of moisture that was exhaled by tourists raising the humidity within them to levels so high as to make the salt from the stone crystallize



E. because moisture exhaled by tourists had raised the humidity within them to such levels that salt from the stone was crystallizing 选E
有两个问题~
1.请问AB中的due to 用法有错吗？due to或 because of 是必须跟名词， 还是也可以跟这种带定语修饰的名词？
2.版主解释的E
E. correct. humidity within them...tourists身体里面不可能包含有humidity，所以them不会指代混乱.

OG12就有很多题目不是按照逻辑意思来的，比如说OG12 73题
75.
A proposal has been made to trim the horns from
rhinoceroses to discourage poachers; the question is
whether tourists will continue to visit game parks and
see rhinoceroses after their horns are trimmed.
(A) whether tourists will continue to visit game
parks and see rhinoceroses after their horns are
(B) whether tourists will continue to visit game
parks to see one once their horns are
(C) whether tourists will continue to visit game
parks to see rhinoceroses once the animals’
horns have been
(D) if tourists will continue to visit game parks and
see rhinoceroses once the animals’ horns are
(E) if tourists will continue to visit game parks to
see one after the animals’ horns have been


OG解释A，“And see” should be “to see”
“their” is ambiguous;
“are” should be have been.

请问可不可以按逻辑意思来判断代词指代呢？谢谢！

虽然这道题中的没有根据逻辑意思来判断代词的合理性，但是做题要注意就题论题，首先看到A钟有their先留着，当看到C 时发现their被取代成animal ，说明出题者有意要考到代词的指代问题，因此C  优于 A
In late 1997, the chambers inside the pyramid of the Pharaoh Menkaure at Giza were closed to visitors for cleaning and repair due to moisture exhaled by tourists, which raised its humidity to such levels so that salt from the stone was crystallizing and fungus was growing on the walls.A. due to moisture exhaled by tourists, which raised its humidity to such levels so that salt from the stone was crystallizingB. due to moisture that tourists had exhaled, thereby raising its humidity to such levels that salt from the stone would crystallizeC. because tourists were exhaling moisture, which had raised the humidity within them to levels such that salt from the stone would crystallizeD. because of moisture that was exhaled by tourists raising the humidity within them to levels so high as to make the salt from the stone crystallizeE. because moisture exhaled by tourists had raised the humidity within them to such levels that salt from the stone was crystallizing 选E这道题就没有指出them代词的指代问题，因为纵看所有选项，有三个选项都有them，而其他两个选项并没有把them替换成其他具体代词，所以此题没有着重考察代词指代问题。
