C错大了,"so adj is it as to ..."压根就没有这个结构.....
建议查一下 "so adj as to ..." 的用法例句
D,说它改变了句意。你这么理解,原句想说 "Although S is not often fatal, S is so debilitating that it has become X"
结果现在变成了"Although S is not often fatal, S becomes X." 这就丢掉了以下两层逻辑意思:1. "S is debilitating"; 2. Because "S is debilitating", S has become X.
