在GMAT考试中，很多考生对due to与because of的区别都不是很了解，为此，小编为大家引用了一个非常全面的解释，希望可以给大家提供一个参考。
Due to means"cause by". It shoud only be used if it can be substitued with "caused by".
It doed not mean the same thing as "because of ",
Incorrect: The game was postponed due to rain.
Correct: The game was postponed because of rain.
Correct: The game's postponement was due to rain.
以后再遇到due to只要把它换成我们熟悉的caused by就清楚多了。
举例：
Since February, the Federal Reserve has raised its short-term interest rate target five times, and because of the economy’s continued strength, analysts have been predicting for weeks that the target will be raised again in November.
A. because of the economy’s continued strength, analysts have been predicting for weeks that the target will
B. with the economy’s strength continuing, analysts predicted for weeks that the target
C. because the economy continues strong, analysts predicted for weeks that the target would
D. due to the economy’s continued strength, analysts have been predicting for weeks that the target
E. due to the fact of the economy’s continued strength, analysts predicted for weeks that the target will
D、E显然无法换成caused by，所以直接排除。当然这两个选项还有其他问题，但是用due to来排除是最快的!
希望各位考生通过本文的例子认识到GMAT语法中due to与because of的区别。在今后的GMAT语法备考中可以注意积累相关的经验，在GMAT考试语法的解题中不会犯相关的错误，并能快速准确地完成题目。希望大家在GMAT考试中都能取得优异成绩。
