菜鸟请教OG11-36

36.   In 1527 King Henry VIII sought to have his marriage to Queen Catherine annulled so as to marry Anne Boleyn.

(A) so as to marry

(B) and so could be married to

(C) to be married to

(D) so that he could marry

(E) in order that he would marry

Grammatical construction

This sentence uses the construction x happened so that y could happen; so introduces a clause of purpose or result, explaining the reason for the action in the main clause. Henry ... sought to have his marriage ... annulled so that he could marry Anne Boleyn. The relationship between the two clauses is clear.

A     So as to marry is not idiomatically correct（为什么so as to marry 不是习惯用法呢？）; it does not identify who will marry

B      This alternative is ungrammatical and illogical: Henry could not marry simply on the basis of seeking an annulment

C     The infinitive must be preceded by a conjunction (in order); to marry is preferable to the wordier to be married to

D     Correct. This sentence’s construction clearly shows the reason that Henry sought an annulment.

E      In order that is followed by may or might, the conditional would many is incorrect

The correct answer is D.

哪位NN前辈能不能帮忙总结一下在GMAT中in order to, so as to , so that , in order that 的用法和区别，或者说在题目中要注意什么。
