求教OG12 SC33 31 ~~~3月23日，31问还是不明白。。到底怎样才算是冗余的？~~

关于31题，我在想unlike表示的是对比的关系，但是EVEN THOUGH 就是转折了，不是说一般情况下不要改变主句的逻辑关系么。。。所以上来就把D cross off了 虽说being看着不顺眼 多一个词就wordy了么  看不至于说是改变逻辑的 看来GMAT 真的是超级不喜欢being 放这里就是个陷阱

我对computer chips 那题的理解是：
注意所有选项bcd 全部把oversupply放在最后。其实主要原因是oversupply。所以不管是以because开头还是due to开头，oversupply都应该紧跟其后。 不然修饰的重心就不对了，改变了原句的句意。
再有一点就是。所有选项都有一个表原因的词作为开头，后面再出现，with the result that（如e中） 就明显的redundant。 bc也有这个错误。
最后只剩下a选项。

我个人而言比较能接受下面这种关于being的解释：
that is true B and C is wrong because of the use of BEING in those options.
see being here is in VERB+ING form...which in many cases used to represesnt the continuous tense.

there is difference in meaning context if you use being:
genes were simple and static vs genes being simple and static
now if you read sentence:
colleagues thought genes were simple and static vs colleagues thought genes being simple and static.
clearly the intended meaning can be shown by "colleagues thought genes were simple and static ".
thats the reason being is wrong here.
if we have the sense of continuity we can use being....lets take an official example:
Being heavily committed to a course of action, especially one that has worked well in the past, is likely to make an executive miss signs of incipient trouble or misinterpret them when they do appear.
in this case author is telling about the executives who are heavily commited always to a course of action===>you can sense the continuity of heavily commited here.so use of being here is correct here.

就是说Ving形式一般表示该动作还在持续。而放到B、C选项中则表示她的同事还在保持原来的观点，即‘genes were simple and static’。这显然不是原文要表达的意思。

31题。C being convinced可以直接用convinced表示，being convinced啰嗦了，E. conviced of genes being si ...

对c中being的解释简直不能更赞

The GMAT definitively does not like the structure [preposition]+[noun]+[participial phrase].  Prepositions aren’t designed to handle that much action. If you want full [noun] + [verb] type action, use a subordinate conjunction.

That sentence structure will be wrong 100% of the time on the GMAT Sentence Correction.  Here is a corrected version of the same sentence, using the subordinate conjunction “because” instead.

7a) Because his troops were dying from the cold, Napoléon had to retreat from Russia.

个人感觉BC中的因果关系词并不多余，而E多余：因为E中的due to和result都指向oversupply，所以多余；而B中的because of指向plunging prices，表明plunging prices作为原因导致了某个结果，而后面的due to则表明plunging prices作为结果，C道理类似。这也就是为什么BC的OG解析里面没有谈到重复而E里面谈到了，一点个人看法哦~

求问 哪两种、

补充一下due to 和 because of 的区别：
due to / because of 都是因为的意思，不一样的是：due to 的原因要是主语一样（或前面修饰的名词一样），because of的原因是另外的原因，例如Ron说：
if replacing "due to" with "caused by" creates a workable sentence, then "due to" is correct.
if replacing "due to" with "because of" creates a workable sentence, then "due to" is incorrect.

Due to plunging computer chip prices from an oversupply, the manufacturer has announced that xxxx.
这里的plunging prices不是有manufacture引起的
