请详细写出解题的过程和思路。

解答:

选C ause用作动词,有两类用法需注意:
(1) 表示“造成”、“使(发生)”,其后可直接用造成的结果或发生的事情作宾语,也可接双宾语或接不定式的复合结构作宾语。如:
Smoking can cause lung cancer. 吸烟可导致肺癌。
He caused his parents much unhappiness. 他弄得他父母很不愉快。
The cold weather caused the plants to die. 天气寒冷冻死了植物(from www.yywords.com)。

(2) 表示“使”、“迫使”,通常接不定式的复合结构作宾语,注意不要受动词 make 的影响而用错句型。比较:
是什么使她哭了?
正:What caused her to cry? / What made her cry?
误:What caused her cry [crying]? / What made her to cry?
这个坏消息使她伤心。
正:The bad news caused her to be sad.
正:The bad news made her sad.
误:The bad news caused her sad.
