so as to 对不对？

曼哈顿第九章 知识点部分例句（ She drank coffee so as to stay awake）说是SUSPECT, 而不是Wrong。
例句（many state governments have imposed significant taxes on their citizens so as to raise funds)说是错的。

求权威。。。

必须是单一的逻辑主语才对。

楼主可以将OG中 so as to 对的句子拉出来总结一下

IMPORTANT:
JUST LIKE and SO AS TO are always wrong on GMAT.
So …X… as to (CORRECT).
GMAT mostly uses these five words for comparisons
• As (Correct)
• Like (Correct)
• Unlike (Correct)
• Just as …so (Correct) IS A COMMON WAY ON GMAT TO WRITE LONGER COMPARISON OF CLAUSES.
• So X as to (Correct)
• Just Like (INCORRECT)

"so (adj/adv) as to (verb)" is a perfectly legitimate construction. if there's a problem, the problem will lie elsewhere.

in that choice, the main problem is that the tense doesn't make sense.

here are sentences in which the tenses DO make sense:
Raul starts his day so early as to arrive at work before the sun even comes up. <--> Raul arrives at work before the sun even comes up.

Every day last week, I ate so much as to deplete the entire buffet. <--> I depleted the entire buffet.

you get the picture-- if you say "xxxxxxx so (adj) as to (verb)", then the (verb) should make sense in the same tense as "xxxxxx".

that's where that answer choice falls short, because it makes no sense to say "it becomes ...." in the present tense there.







in general, "so [adj/adverb] that [complete sentence]" is used when "[complete sentence]" has a DIFFERENT SUBJECT than the original sentence.
e.g., When I came back from vacation, I was so tan that my friends didn't even recognize me.
(subject changes from "i" to "my friends")

if the subject is still the same, then "so [adj] as to [verb]" is a more efficient way to write the construction.
