Choose the answer which best rewords the italicized portion. If you think the original wording is best, choose option A.

  1. due to the fact that
  2. due to
  3. because
  4. through
Explanation
Answer: C - The best choice is “because”

Wordiness can affect sentence clarity. Using “due to” or “through” will make the sentence grammatically incorrect. Inserting the conjunction “because” maintains the meaning of the sentence while setting aside unnecessary words.
