<p>Hi all.</p>

<p>I am trying to figure out why I need to use "Due to" in B (because). I tried to read about it, but just couldn't understand it. Can someone please explain it.
Due to modifies adjective, but in this sentence, it shows "crossed[verb] with great care[adverb]". </p>

<p>In the interior of the Arctic islands during the</p>

<p>melting season, even small streams must be</p>

<p>crossed [with great care] [because] near-zero</p>

<p>water temperatures and the [typically] rocky and</p>

<p>unstable nature of [stream] beds.</p>

<p>Thank you</p>

<p>I think you better change “because” into “because of”</p>

<p>The error in this sentence occurs at (B), where there is an inappropriate idiom. The phrase “due to” should be used in place of “because.”</p>

<p>Hint:</p>

<p>Think about why “even small streams must be crossed with great care.”</p>

<p>So it is not because of. </p>

<p>Thank you for your comment. </p>
