答案與詳解
C
正確答案
空格後接名詞片語 the industrial revolution,需用介系詞片語『因為』,答案為 as a result of。
逐選項解析
Abecause連接詞vs介系詞✕ 易錯陷阱
because 是從屬連接詞,後面必須接完整子句(主詞+動詞),但本題空格後僅為名詞片語 the industrial revolution,故不合文法。
Bindebted to語意不符✕ 錯誤
indebted to 意為「感激、受惠於」,語意上大學受惠於工業革命雖可通,但主詞是 universities were established,語意不順,且 indebted to 較少用於此結構。
