33. Because an oversupply of computer chips has sent
prices plunging, the manufacturer has announced that
it will cut production by closing its factories for two
days a month.
(A) Because an oversupply of computer chips has
sent prices plunging,
(B) Because of plunging prices for computer chips,
which is due to an oversupply,
(C) Because computer chip prices have been sent
plunging, which resulted from an oversupply,
(D) Due to plunging computer chip prices from an
oversupply,
(E) Due to an oversupply, with the result that
computer chip prices have been sent plunging,

正确答案为A， 看了半天答案解释，还是觉得D似乎比选项A更好，更简单。 请问这类题有没有什么规律性，特别强调什么？ 请教各位一下！ 谢谢了。

D选项太confusing，更何况词优于短语，due to 和because of 以及 because 同时出

现，优先考虑because，D选项confused，因为根据逻辑意思，是因为oversupply，而不是

。。。

首先，Gmat非常强调句子和词组的概念，如果是句子的概念，不能庸词组来表达，太复杂了

第二D中的pluging找不到逻辑主语

1楼说的很对
because ＞ due to

gmatmba

due to是形容词，后面跟着plunging，整个意思变成 manufacture plunging了

queenie924

根本原因是because 与because of/due to在逻辑含义上的区别
前者接句子，而句子是由主谓构成的，所以使用because的表达重心在于一个完整的事件。
后者接名词，名词的本质就是一个概念，不包含动作，不是一个事件。

凡是原因中包含动作，就应该是一个事件，就应该使用完整句子表达，而不能使用because of/due to。
这种题目在OG中已经出现很多了。基本上可以简化为 because of后面出现ing的选项通常不对，直接找because后面接句子的选项

A和D选项的选择部分重心转移了

说的非常对~~~光用because>due to判断的话有时候内心不安啊~~~
