Jawaban:

"Because of" grew up as an adverb; “due to” grew up as an adjective

Penjelasan:

Technically speaking, “due to” should only be used as an adjective and come after a noun. ... “Cancellation” is a noun, and “due to” is describing it. “Because of” on the other hand, should modify verbs. So you might want to say: The game was cancelled because of rain.

The word pairs “because of” and “due to” are not interchangeable. The reason they are not is that they “grew up” differently in the language. “Because of” grew up as an adverb; “due to” grew up as an adjective. Remember that adjectives modify only nouns or pronouns, whereas adverbs usually modify verbs.
