1. so..that..所以A D因为缺少that排除

2. B so的位置不对，应该是so adj. that, 本句里要放在persistent之前

3. C so dogged..and so persistent... 两个部分必须平行，persistent 前面缺少 so 的话，无法构成平行结构

4. E选项正确使用了so..that.. 同时保证了平行结构
补全了应该是如下
So dogged were... ,(and) so persistent (was)...,that...

The two initial clauses in the sentence are comparable sentence components and thus must be presented in a manner that is structurally similar. The only choice that does so is answer choice E: "so dogged/ so persistent" is correct. Choice C, by removing the second "so," lacks proper parallelism.

manhattan 的 instructors 也认为这里的一些省略让句子看上去别扭
但并不表示E选项是错的
同时，这是一个老题
现在的GMAC已经做出大量努力确保这种“听上去别扭但实际是正确的惯用习语”尽量少地出现
以防止对非母语人士的不公平

If it's a correct answer, it's a correct answer.

This is a really, really old problem (over 10 years old, if it's in "set 27"). The current GMAT won't test such oddly constructed sentences, so it's best to forget about this one altogether.

This sentence is as legitimate today as it was 10, 50, or 100 years ago.
The problem is that it's an unusual sentence construction, one that violates the dominant patterns of usage. Essentially, it's one giant "idiom" with which you'd have to be familiar in advance -- it's not the kind of thing you can figure out as you go. As such, it unfairly favors native English speakers, who have had much more exposure to "weird but correct" English sentences than have non-native speakers. Basically, it's almost like taking English from Shakespeare, or Spanish from Cervantes, or Italian from Dante, and throwing them at modern-day second-language speakers of those languages. Not fair.

In recent years GMAC has been cracking down on just about all SC items that unfairly favor native speakers -- especially weird sentence constructions like this one. So, it's not any less correct than it previously was, but you don't have to worry about it on the test anymore.
