Because vs Since vs Due to.

I agree that there were other obvious errors in the sentence. but when you say that these are "stylstic difference"
do you imply that GMAT is flexible in use of Due to/ because and can use that interchangeably ?

Or the explanations given above with the differences will always hold and just that
these difference are not that important that GMAT will based its answer purely on this.

thanks was helpful.

But Correct me if I am wrong. I was under the impression that
Since and because can't be used interchangeably in GMAT.
and Since only caters to time

example :
He has not come home since 1997.

"since" can serve two purposes.

--> to express a present perfect action, as in your example above and can not be replaced by "because"

--> as a replacement of because, the one I mentioned in my last example. "as"/ "because" is more preferred here.



I agree with Jim that these are more or less stylistic issues. It is a rare possibility that GMAT will solely base a question on these issues. You will have more reasons to eliminate/ select an answer choice apart from stylistic issues like the ones that we discussed.

Think of them as interchangeable, often times the switch from one to the other is to mask the sentence construction of a different error. While some rules may work more often than not, you will have more accuracy really understanding the error in the other part of the sentence.
