现在sc得考句意解题。
A错在这道题你仔细想会发现要表达的是沙子变得像液体一样，就是拥有了液体的特征，而 ...

D选项的so as to是正确的，朗文里面明确了的正确表达，等于so as to do something == in order to do something。
D错在语义，D的主干抽一下是" “quicksand” is the term for sand so as to acquire the character of a liquid."。so as to之前的触发动作错了。
从语义出发，ACDE选项的意思都是：沙子为了获得水的特性，所以被浸湿了。
正确的语义是：沙子被水浸湿后获得了水的特性。

这道题最佳的语义解答：
Let's start by looking at what's different about each answer:

1. that is so saturated / saturated enough
2. acquires / to acquire
3. character / characteristics

Let's start by tackling #2 on our list: acquires vs. to acquire. Verb tenses are often an easy place to start narrowing down answers, so let's start there!

When we use the to+verb combination, it implies intention. This means that when we say the sand wants "to acquire" the characteristics of water, it is a thinking, breathing, intentional being that chooses to go out and get the characteristics of water. We know that sand isn't a living thing that has intentions of its own. Therefore, it isn't appropriate to say "to acquire." Here are some examples:

I want to acquire the rights to that song for my movie. = CORRECT (I'm a person with thoughts and intentions, so it's okay.)

The chair is so short as to acquire the perfect balance for short children. = WRONG (A chair can't want "to acquire" balance from somewhere - it's either balanced or it's not. The chair can't decide for itself what it wants to be!)


把所有表目的的选项一排除，答案就只剩B了。

个人觉得这个回答比较好。尤其是so   as to 和   so    that的区别之前很少关注到。

Mark一下！              OG官方解释说E选项“as to acquire a liquid character” would be better if were replaced with “that it acquires a liquid character” (or, as in B, that it acquired the character of a liquid), 所以这里a liquid’s character和the character of  a liquid应该是可以替换的。
那么就是应该错在so..as to和so...that的含义区别。
官方解释so...that更好是因为the matter of degree is introduced with the word so, which is used to indicate that the relevant degree of  saturation will  be specified with a clause that states a condition-a statement that includes both a subject and a verb-that implies a certain degree of saturation.也就是说如果想表示saturation的程度，需要用一个that的从句来specify it.

不是很同意前面同学的看法。A的问题其实不在liquid's还是of，还是so as to 和so that的区别，so as to有intention的意思在，目的性。so that表示结果。

之前看Ron对于enough to的解释，其实enough就是表达一种打了某个程度限度的意思，感觉很迷

I'm not sure your source now, from beatthegmat or GMAT club, but it doesn't hold water. Here is another correct sentence in OG: Climatic shifts are so gradual as to be indistinguishable from ordinary fluctuations in the weather.
"Climate shifts" have no breathing or that kind of things.

个人也觉得可以在目前的OG中解释的通，但是有另一种题的情况，可以通过结果的逻辑主词是否为动作的发出者来解释？我觉得用这个intention的方法，非native感觉好难

话说我觉得这两者没区别。区别在后面跟着的clause上
