103. Students in the metropolitan school district lack math skills to such a large degree as to make it difficult to absorb them into a city economy becoming ever more dependent on information-based industries.

(A)  lack math skills to such a large degree as to make it difficult to absorb them into a city economy becoming

(B)   lack math skills to a large enough degree that they will be difficult to absorb into a city's economy that becomes

(C)   lack of math skills is so large as to be difficult to absorb them into a city's economy that becomes

(D)  are lacking so much in math skills as to be difficult to absorb into a city's economy becoming

(E)   are so lacking in math skills that it will be difficult to absorb them into a city economy becoming

D uses the "-ing" forms, but so much... as to be difficult to absorb is an

awkward and unidiomatic verbal modifier. Choice E is best.

我實在不懂og對這句話的解釋

是說stiudents會變成be difficult yo absorb的主語,所以d不對嗎??

請哪位nn替我說明一下

"so ... that" is idiomatic while "so much ... as to" is not. I reckon that's the major point.
