答案:选A。此处believed to have occured due to the burning of construction materials 为过去分词短语做非限制性定语,对先行词fire加以补充说明,可转化为非限制性定语从句which was believed to have occured due to the burning of construction materials 。此处使用完成式表示动词【occur】的动作发生在believe之前。若用B则强调在其后发生。
due to一般用在be动词之后做表语,但实际运用中也可以用来作状语。
如:1)She has been absent from work due to illness.
2)The workforce was reduced, partly due to budget pressures.
3)He arrived late due to the storm.他由于暴风雨而来迟了。
时态不同,A是完成时态,B是普通的不定式,应该选A吧
b
