74.Paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould has argued that many biological traits are not the products of natural selection, favored due to their enhancement of reproduction or survival, but that they are simply random by-products of other evolutionary developments.

这两题都考到介词短语的用法了，但是我看到第74题的解释里面提到：
1)介词短语 n account of, because of, despite (in despite of), as a result of, due to之后只跟简单的名词短语。若其后面跟的是动名词或名词所有格+动名词短语(sb’s doing),或名词短语之后用一复杂的现在分词来修饰时或后面跟动词的抽象名词形式,应改为与其相同意义的连词because, although等引导的从句形式。
除去这两题中错误选项的其他错误点，
在74题中的A选项是due to+动词的抽象名词形式，所以是错的。
但是在第78题中，正确选项A，不也是使用的介词短语as a result of+动词的抽象名词形式么？为什么在78题中这种用法是算对，而在第74题中不对。
哪位NN能告诉我这种介词短语后面跟什么样的结构是算对的？？？谢谢啦
