by virtue of 和 on account of 都表示“因为”，这两者有什么区别吗？
The old musician decided to move to her country home _____ her advanced age and poor health.为什么这道题要用on account of 不用 by virtue of 呢？

The old musician decided to move to her country home on account of her advanced age and poor health.
此题只能用 on account of（由于；因为；因为...缘故），表示“不利因素或原因”。
而 by virtue of ，是“凭借”之意，表示“有利于本人的条件”。虽然可以翻译成“因为”，其实是“凭借有利的因素”。而本题句子的含义是“由于年老体弱的缘故”，是指不利因素。故此。
