2. and 3: C and A is wordy.

could not find any reference to "so much so that". However, it sounds right, and a search in google turns out many pages using this phrase.

E). but also specific environmental requirements, such as for a particular forest;s soil
为什么是E不是C 呢？我还是不明白啊。前面游人讨论过，似乎也没酱出什么道理。

Another "so much so that"

3. Because of the recent recession in Country A most magazines published there have experienced decreases in advertising revenue so much so that the survival of the most widely read magazines is in grave doubt.

1.
so much so that
到这样的程度以致...

再看美国文摘上的两个例子：
In early manhood Emerson’s thought captured his imagination, and the philosopher in turn became deeply interested in the young man,—so much so that he loaned him his copy of the “Bhagavad Gita.”

The lecturer took kindly to Quimby and especially instructed him, with the result that the clock-maker soon became somewhat of an expert in mesmerizing people—so much so that for a time he made his living by giving public exhibitions of the power of suggestion.

,so much so that应该是 “这样“得这么厉害以至于。。。是作为一个状语来修饰上半句描述的现象
注意下面的几个so much so that 前面一般都有一个逗号或者dash
这使得句子语法上无误虽然我们中的大多数人觉得有些拗口

但是4楼的找到的这个例句我认为有问题
语法上不是很通

2.
我觉得主要是出于平行对称的考虑选E。
1．后面的两个：air degree of moisture, and weather conditions都是泛指，所以前面也用泛指；
2．后面的结构都是修饰语加中心词，所以前面的也是：
(a particular forest's) (soil), (air) (degree of moisture), and (weather) (conditions)

3.
从逻辑上，A没有D的意思紧密。
因为D用a practice对前句的意思进行了概括，并且指出该practice在神怪小说作者中很常见。一气呵成！
不知有没有说到点子上？

2是那里的题？

cognito · 发表于 2003-10-19 10:32:00

a particular forest's soil 更好更简洁 and less wordy
比如：First certificate in english course中
的第一课 never trust appearances中
的第53行: Geoffrey's father's car

btw: 剑桥一证是一本很好的书推荐给大家在考完GMAT以后看

我扔点儿：
1、偶觉得GMAT中so that尽量要紧跟被修饰对象（PRINCETON、KAPLAN中均有类似的解释），如果是", so much that"，则违背了这个合理性。这里我觉得是[fallen] so much so that...，是一种强调性的方式。

2、偶觉得是不是应该这样理解，such as for a particular forest's soil，air degree of moisture, and weather conditions理解为A's B1, A's B2, and A's B3，只是省略了A。因为这些都是a particular forest的specific environmental requirements。

3、感觉没有其他问题，只是D是ETS的喜欢的形式，这种方式比较书面化，OG中很多这样的形式。
