815. Technically, "quicksand" is the term for sand that is so
saturated with water as to acquire a liquid's character.
(A) that is so saturated with water as to acquire a
liquid's character
(B)that is so saturated with water that it acquires
the character of a liquid
(C)that is saturated with water enough to acquire
liquid characteristics
(D) saturated enough with water So as to acquire the
character of a liquid
(E) saturated with water S0 much as to acquire a
liquid character
一道老题了，AB选项纠结。一般来说so that优于so as to，但是在此处so as to前后句的主语相同（sand is so saturaed……/sand acquires……），所以我很困惑为什么不能选A?因为在做题目的时候也碰到过因为前后主语相同所以就直接选择so as to更优的情况。
还是说要从最后的a liquid‘s character来考虑优劣？
在这里先谢谢nn们了

GmatLa的大神是这样分析的：
选项分析：

A选项：首先要明确的是，so...as to...与so...that...表达的意思一样，均为“太…以至于…”，一种因果关系。他们的区别在于，so...as to...用于主语和to后面的动作的发出者一致时，而so...that...中，主语与that之后的主语不需要一致。

那相比之下，A B两个选项间没有成分差异，只剩下 of 和 ‘s 的区别。此时，我们需要考虑，liquid作为一个无生命物体，需要用of。

B选项：正确。

C选项：enough需要置于water前面。因为，沙子是和“足够的水”饱和，所以才获得了液体的属性，而不仅仅是“和水饱和”，所以足以获得液体的属性。

D选项：enough不能和so as to 混着用。

E选项：表达“太…以至于…”中没有so much as to的用法。
