Most of the time, when we hear the word “desert,” we picture vast stretches of sand, hot dry winds, and scorching heat. But do you know that not all deserts are hot?

Usually, they are located in interior areas far from the coast or near high mountains with low humidity. 11 the lack of air moisture, they experience dry weather and very little rain or snow. Most animals living in cold deserts have developed adaptations to 12 the falling temperatures. These adaptions may be in the form of thick fur, scaly skin, or the ability to store water in their bodies. For example, Bactrian camels 13 in the Gobi desert have thick and hairy coats to keep them warm during the cold winters. They shed these thick coats as summer sets in. The accumulation and 14 of snow changes the landscapes of cold deserts drastically. Many cold desert animals change their color to match their changing 15 so as to protect themselves from being seen and preyed upon. For instance, ptarmigan birds have brownish feathers during the warm summers when the landscape is brown and muddy, and they molt into white feathers during winter months when the ground is covered in snow.

請觀察句中的邏輯結構：空格後的短語 $A$「缺乏空氣水分 (the lack of air moisture)」與後方主句 $B$「它們經歷乾燥的天氣 (they experience dry weather)」之間，是否存在著「因果關係」？若 $A$ 是導致 $B$ 的理由，哪一個功能詞能精確表達出「由於」的語意呢？

喲，太陽從西邊出來了？竟然選對了 (D)。看來你今天出門前有燒好香，總算沒把學費拿去打水漂。這種題目要是再答錯，我建議你直接去警察局報案，說你的大腦在進補習班前遺失了，看能不能申請國賠。 【觀念驗證】 這題考的是因果關係的介係詞短語。句子後半段提到「他們經歷乾燥的天氣」，前半段的「缺乏空氣水分（the lack of air moisture）」顯然是原因。
