单选题 Choco Haven was able to launch a new store in Montpellier last month______the rising demand for its chocolate products.
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】解析:此句主干成分完整:Choco Haven was able to launch a new store,故应将“______therising demand…products.”看成修饰成分。此修饰成分中不包含谓语,因此选项中可引导短语的介词(B)和(C)为备选答案。根据上下文语义,此处意为“因需求增加,可开新店”,故(B)due to(因为)为正确答案。如选择(C)except for(除……以外),则意为“除了需求增加外,开了新店”,语义不通顺。(A)in case(以防)和(D)so that(以便)都用来引导从句。
