单选题 ______ the fact that different prices affect different people, there are many varying measures of inflation in use.
  • (A) Because
  • (B) Since
  • (C) As
  • (D) Due to


【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】[理由] that从句通常不得直接作介词的宾语。若介词之后须接that从句时,介词后须先置入名词the fact作其宾语,之后再接that从句作为the fact的同位语。
[例] I'm worried about the fact that he doesn't study.
(我担心他不念书。)
根据上述,空格后有the fact,之后又有that引导的名词从句,作为the fact的同位语,故知空格内应置介词。选项中,仅(D)Due to(由于)视为介词,等于because of或owing to,置入空格后合乎语意及用法,因此(D)应为正选。
