175. Two new studies indicate that many people become obese more due to the fact that their bodies burn calories too slowly than overeating.

(C)

much
The members of a comparison (more X than Y) should be expressed in parallel form. D, the best choice, correctly uses parallel clauses introduced by because. The clauses themselves are clear and direct. Choice E uses parallel forms, but the convoluted structures are awkward and wordy. Furthermore, the word bodies would need an apostrophe (bodies') since it is the logical subject of the gerund burning (that is, it answers the question, "Whose burning?"). A, B, and C do not use parallel forms for the two members of the comparison. In addition, A and B use due to unidiomatically to mean because; properly used, due to is synonymous with attributable to. 在og的解释中,它说due to 与 because 不同,而与 attributable to.同意.我查了词典也没发现什么大的不同,平时在用的时候也没有感觉这三个词的异同.
