非谓语动词问题14

The day being hot准确地讲属于独立主格结构，与非谓语动词也有关，它由The day was hot演变而来，两者意思也完全一样。但是即便这道题的选项有The day was hot也不能选，因为（1）The day being hot是后面半句话的原因，虽然没有BECAUSE等词但这种独立主格结构在此处就能起到“因为”的作用。单纯的The day was hot不表示原因，连接效果不好；（2）如果用The day was hot，那么后面就不能用逗号而应用句号。

Due to a hot day 其实也可以。Due to 一般用作表语，即放在BE 动词后面，如 The fact that we won the game is due to the good athletes we had got.但现在也可以用作状语，比如放在句首，因此 Due to a hot day这个答案也并非完全不可。

是高三的题吗？还是大学的？以后作业要自己做。
