67. Congress is debating a bill requiring certain employers provide workers with unpaid leave so as to care for sick or newbom 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 can (D)
(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.

我的问题是,为什么在答案D中,"so that they can" 里的 they 没用代词指代不清的问题。我觉得在语法上和意义上,they 都可以指代"employers" and "workers". 所以我觉得D不好。
请指教!
2 : 还有 OG171 , 如果按照 :so as to 后面的逻辑主语和句子主语一致的说法,OG171 的A 就SPECIFY WHO IS TO MARRY 了啊!但OG 说A -does not specify who is to marry
不理解!!
171

(A) so as to marry
(B) and so could be married to
(C) to be married to
(D) so that he could marry(D)
(E) in order that he would marry
