* estelle was afraid to move because of a spider sitting on the wall --> correct, because estelle is afraid because of the spider itself, not because of the spider's sitting on the wall.

Is usage of because correct? Don't we need to use DUE TO in this case?
Estelle was afraid to move DUE TO a spider [NOUN] sitting on the wall [VERB PHRASE]


no; that use of "due to", while common in spoken language, is wrong.

Hi Ron,

I find another post that contains a perhaps different use of 'due to', could the 'due to' in the non-underline part be replaced by 'caused by'?

Thanks

nice catch.
that use is technically incorrect, leading me to the conclusion that one of the following is true: (1) that problem isn't really an official gmac problem, and/or (2) the authors didn't put as much thought into the usage in the non-underlined part.
