because of / Due to / With + N + Ving 的用法
主要不好的原因是 - 如此使用失去講解整個因果關係的結構
GMAT 的偏好性是 動詞 > 名詞，句子 > 名詞子句
基本上 如果題目出現 since/because + N + V
because of / Due to / With + N + Ving
絕對有超過八成的機率是前者正確
如果你跟我一樣 修辭沒有下面兩位高手強 那可以直接當考點來做
至少我實際考試時 我的確用了這個方法作了兩題 拿了還不差的分數

即使是前文舉的例子:
Because of a law passed in 1933 making it a crime punishable by
imprisonment for a United States citizen to hold

原文和 Manhattan 解釋在此，就不全貼上了: http://ppt.cc/_Di7
基本上其他選項也都是使用
because of / Due to / With + N + Ving 的架構
唯一不是的 (C) 選項是連文法都錯誤 我相信也不會有人選

以一般台灣考生而言 要判斷 because of + N + Ving
而這個 N 或是 V 哪個是主要的因果主題 那是太難了
總結: N + Ving 當原因的句子有可能對 但機率小
且幾乎很少看過 N + V 的用法比不上 N + Ving 的答案解釋

※ 引述《danyuchn (Javy)》之銘言：
: ※ 引述《A2GMAT (A兔GMAT)》之銘言：
: : whereas在官方版的解釋上是說副詞子句和主要子句盡量對稱（但不強迫）, 不過這邊給你
: : 一個技巧, 通常考對比時whereas常當正確答案！
: : 這題我會先刪掉c, 因為c的cooking with spices是表動作的動名詞（working verb）,
: : 不過like/unlike後面接的名詞通常是一般性名詞, 表動作動名詞重點是在表動作, 在
: : gmat的標準英文中, 想表動作請用子句, 也就是whereas/although/but S+V+O
: 補充一下：
: 這也就是我們通常看到because of + N + Ving會是GMAT較不偏好用法的原因
: 比如此OG題：
: In late 1997, the chambers inside the pyramid of the Pharaoh Menkaure at Giza
: were closed to visitors for cleaning and repair [due to moisture exhaled bv
: tourists, which raised its humidity to such levels so that salt from the
: stone was crystallizing] and fungus was growing on the walls.
: (D) because of moisture that was exhaled by tourists raising the humidity
: within them to levels so high as to make the salt from the stone crystallize
: (E) because moisture exhaled by tourists had raised the humidity within them
: to such levels that salt from the stone was crystallizing
: D選項的Ving有修飾tourists的歧義，
: 就算是because of moisture raising ...
: 也會形成句意斷裂：because of moisture (which raised...)
: 「因為濕氣」(升高濕度變成了只修飾moisture的成份)
: 而完整的意思應該是「因為潮濕升高濕氣(這個動作)」
: OG解釋：
: the entire construction is awkward, wordy, and ambiguous
: 正確選項E則用because子句，完整的「潮濕升高溼氣」的動作表原因。
: 同理Prep題目供你參考：
: [Because of wireless service costs plummeting in the last year, and as mobile
: phones are increasingly common, many people] now using their mobile phones to
: make calls across a wide region at night and on weekends, when numerous
: wireless companies provide unlimited airtime for a relatively small monthly
: fee.
: 錯誤選項
: A. Because of wireless service costs plummeting in the last year, and as
: mobile phones are increasingly common, many people
: 正解
: D. With the cost of wireless service plummeting in the last year and mobile
: phones becoming increasingly common, many people are
: 不過有一個地方要小心：
: (GWD-19-Q18)
: [On account of a law passed in 1993, making it a crime punishable by
: imprisonment that a United States citizen hold] gold in the form of bullion or
: coins, immigrants found that on arrival in the United States they had to
: surrender all of the gold they had brought with them.
: 正確選項D：
: Because of a law passed in 1933 making it a crime punishable by imprisonment
: for a United States citizen to hold
: 這裡的law本身是核心原因，因此making就算修飾law也不會有句意斷裂的問題。
