A. constant moisture leakage into cables is magnified due to----- the correct answer, with three phenomena being parallel with each other and modifying the cables commonly B. constant cable moisture leakage is magnified as a result of there being --- there being the large number is not acceptable C. constantly leaking moisture into cables is magnified as a consequence of there being -- -same as in B D. moisture leaks constantly into cables is magnified because--- the sub clause is a fragment. E. cables with constant moisture leakage is magnified as a result of ------- It is not clear what the rust in, the corrosion of objectify, since the cables have now become a separate factor itself.

Hi Daagh, Don't you think that use of "Due to" is incorrect in the original option A as DUE TO is modifying an Action or a clause instead of a Noun. I know that remaining options have errors in one way or other. Waiting for your response.

Don't you think that use of "Due to" is incorrect in the original option A as DUE TO is modifying an Action or a clause instead of a Noun. I know that remaining options have errors in one way or other. Waiting for your response. Fame, I'm not terribly fond of this question, but the use of " due to" is perfectly correct. " Due to" is a preposition, and as such, it needs to be followed by either a noun or something behaving as a noun (a gerund or a substantive clause). In this sentence, the structure doesn't even get that fancy. In the first part of the sentence we have the parallel construction ---- " due to rust ... (due to) corrosion ... (due to) constant moisture leakage ..." ---- those are three nouns. At the end of the sentence, we have " due to the large number of ..." ---- " number" is also a noun. The word " leakage" describes an action, but itself is a noun. It's all legit here. Mike
