This is the sentence that contains a mistake. In this sentence, the author wrote the word "do" instead of the word "due." The first one is a verb and it refers to taking some action (<em>to do</em> something). "Due to" on the other hand, is an idiom that means "attributable to" or "because of." These words are homophones. Homophones are words that are pronounced the same but have different meanings, and sometimes spelling.
The reason to pause is to give you a chance to think. Pausing to think can help you give insight on what you should do, say, or how to act in a situation.
