33.      Becausean oversupply of computer chips has sent
prices plunging, themanufacturer has announced that

days a month.

(A)      Becausean oversupply of computer chips has
sent prices plunging,
(B)      Becauseof plunging prices for computer chips,
which is due to an oversupply,
(C)      Becausecomputer chip prices have been sent
plunging, which resulted from an oversupply,
(D)      Dueto plunging computer chip prices from an
oversupply,
(E)      Dueto an oversupply, with the result that
computer chip prices have been sent plunging,


答案为A.   D的解释：This backward description of the events behindthe announcement of factory closing is confusing and awkward
请各位大侠帮帮忙，不懂啊。。。万分感谢

若有因果关系的事件有时间先后顺序，则按发生的时间顺序排列效率最高，便于理解

Becausean oversupply of computer chips has sent prices plunging, themanufacturer has announced that it will cut production by closing its factories for two days a month.
(C)      Becausecomputer chip prices have been sent
plunging, which resulted from an oversupply,

说白了~这道题的问题就在于：顺着说的事情，不要打乱顺序。我就只拿A举例和C对比说哈。

A说==> oversupply导致价格下跌，然后生产商宣布停产。
C说==> 价格下跌，（价格为什么下跌，因为oversupply），生产商宣布停产。

本来就是x→Y→Z的事情，非要改成y（因X引起）→Z，这种逆序的表述当然不好咯~

泾渭不凡

原因状语和让步状语，从句优先于介词结构。
而且due to plunging...结构至于句首，plunging的逻辑主语就是 the manufacturer，可是原意没体现这层逻辑关系。我觉得是错。

GWD中做这个题还犹豫呢。
我觉得是否是从逻辑角度考虑。
an oversupply of computer chips has sent prices plunging 这个事实导致cut production by closing its factories；而不仅仅是prices plunging 导致cut production by closing its factories的。
因为prices plunging 可以采取别的措施，比如：打广告等等，没有那么必然的联系吧。
不知道是否可以这样理解。

首先because优于because of 和due to，排除bde
然后C选项的which不可指代前面一件事情

Richardyu

恩，謝謝。不過，我知道due to 前面要放系動詞的，或者不能作為開頭 ，可是 為甚麼og解釋為 This backward description ofthe events behind the announcement of factory closing呢？ 是說劃線部份沒有表達出明顯的時間順序，因為沒有明確的時態嗎？

吉祥一棵菜

我是菜鸟，不知能否帮到你，但是GMAT中due to 放在句首必错，B、C太罗嗦了，不符合简洁要求
