请教一道普林斯顿的题

请教一道普林斯顿语法:many company are scaling back their operation and focusing on their busineses so as not to hindered by overt-inversifation in the world market place


b)  so that overt-inversifation  would not hinder them


我以为so as to 是不能用被动的, 好像是白用的书上这么写的。 所以选了b


有人知道是这样么??  非常感谢

67.   Congress is debating a bill requiring certain employers provide workers with unpaid leave so as to care for sick or newborn children.


(A) provide workers with unpaid leave so as to


(B) to provide workers with unpaid leave so as to


(C) provide workers with unpaid leave in order that they


(D) to provide workers with unpaid leave so that they canD


(E) provide workers with unpaid leave and


Choices A, C, and E are ungrammatical because, in this context, requiring... employers must be followed by an infinitive. These options display additional faults: in A, so as to fails to specify that the workers receiving the leave will be the people caring for the infants and children; in order that they, as used in C, is imprecise and unidiomatic; and E says that the bill being debated would require the employers themselves to care for the children. Choice B offers the correct infinitive, to provide, but contains the faulty so as to. Choice D is best.



In this question, the agent to hinder is clearly indicated by overt-inversifation.



B mistakely use "would do" to indicate a conditional situation not real situation.


Refer to


73.   The British Admiralty and the War Office met in March 1892 to consider a possible Russian attempt to seize Constantinople and how they would have to act militarily to deal with them.


(A) how they would have to act militarily to deal with them


(B) how to deal with them if military action would be necessary


(C) what would be necessary militarily for dealing with such an event


(D) what military action would be necessary in order to deal with such an eventD


(E) the necessity of what kind of military action in order to take for dealing with it


In choices A and B, the pronoun them has no antecedent; furthermore, the if clause in B must take should rather than would. In C, necessary militarily is awkward and vague. E is wordy and garbles the meaning with incorrect word order. Choice D is best: its phrasing is clear, grammatical, and idiomatic. Moreover, D is the choice that most closely parallels the construction of the nonunderlined portion of the sentence. The sentence states that the Admiralty and the War Office met to consider x and y, where x is the noun phrase a possible Russian attempt. D provides a noun phrase, military action, that matches the structure of x more closely than do the corresponding noun elements in the other choices.




Anyway, I think so that will be better and more concise than "so as to"


so+adj+as to is prefered to so+adj+that.



To be discussed....

以下是引用dashasha在2004-5-25 4:39:00的发言:
Which one is the answer? A or B?

To make sentence understandable, I choose A evern if the structure of choice A appears less concise than that of choice B.


麻might make some typing errors, anyway according to the link verb "are" and adj "many", companies should be plural noun.

I think that "them" in B refers to "companies". There is no ambiguity in this choice.

What is your opinion??

b)  so that overt-inversifation  would not hinder them

我觉得A不对啊,应该改成so as not to be hindered by...,没有这个be怎么会对呢?请指正。
