Trivia Which is correct: "this may be because of my hobby which is playing guitar" or "this may be due to my hobby which is playing guitar"?

[plhbg1]

“Because of” is incorrect.
It’s an adverbial phrase, so it must modify a verb, not a noun phrase (“my hobby”).

“Due to” is an adjectival phrase, so it can modify a noun phrase (“my hobby”).

So the sentence should be: “This may be due to my hobby, which is playing guitar.”

To get “because of” to work, we could reword the sentence as, “This may be because of my playing guitar, which is my hobby.”

and the 2nd sentence sounds right than the other.
