og-177还是不明白

177. So poorly educated and trained are many young recruits to the United States work force that many business
executives fear this country will lose its economic preeminence.
(A) So poorly educated and trained are many young recruits to the United States work force that
(B) As poorly educated and trained as many young recruits to the United States work force are,
(C) Because of many young recruits to the United States work force who are so poorly educated and trained,
(D) That many young recruits to the United States work force are so poorly educated and trained is why
(E) Many young recruits to the United States work force who are so poorly educated and trained explains why

In B, the subject of the as ... as clause (young recruits) should be the subject of the main clause as well (e.g., they). Furthermore, main clauses following concessive clauses must express a contrasting notion: for example, "As ill-prepared as they are, they nevertheless find good jobs." C offers a wordy, convoluted because clause.

1，og说有让步状从有对比的意思，所以B中光有as...as了，主句却没有nevertheless等转折的意思，对吗？

2，C中的because of 怎么就wordy了？

3，E中.........explains why除了主谓一致的问题外，是否why应该改为that？

B- y are right, this answer did not give the contrast meaning which was required by this pasage

C- confusion, "who" clause is far away from the subject it means to modify

E-Change to "that" does not solve the problem, think the whole sentence as:

Many young recruits .... explains why (that)

远也没关系啊。who的谓语动词是are,只能修饰yong recruits.不可能有歧异修饰work force的，所以who是修饰它所想修饰的主语啊？

E-Change to "that" does not solve the problem, think the whole sentence as:

Many young recruits .... explains why (that)

知道了。那么这里主谓一致给纠正过来。是否存在应该用that而不能用why的问题？
