136. Although schistosomiasis is not often fatal, (it is so debilitating that it has become an economic) drain on many developing countries.
(A) it is so debilitating that it has become an economic
(B) it is of such debilitation, it has become an economical
(C) so debilitating is it as to become an economic
(D) such is its debilitation, it becomes an economical
(E) there is so much debilitation that it has become an economical
这道题正确答案是a，没有问题。

但是C解释说：the construction soX as to Y is not a correct idiom.为什么这么说阿？

但是我觉得如果C答案的倒装没有问题（我觉得没有问题），好像还是SO..AS TO 比较简洁。而且本题中AS TO 后面的成分的逻辑主语和主句的主语一致。
请教为什么。

剩下的处在水深火热中的MM加油拉~

Investment banks often have conflicting roles.  They sometimes act for a client company by raising capital from other investment institutions as advantageously as possible, but their analysts also sometimes send unfavorable reports on the financial health of companies for whom they are raising capital to other clients who wish to make investments.  Analyses of companies’ financial health need to be unbiased if an investment bank is to achieve long-term success.

 

If the statements above are true, which of the following practices, if adopted by an investment bank, would hinder its long-term success?

 

1. Evaluating and rewarding the bank’s analysts on the basis of recommendations made by managers who are solely engaged in raising capital for clients
2. Using reports by the investment bank’s analysts to determine how best to raise capital for a client
3. Sharing the task of raising capital for a client with other investment banks
4. Ensuring that conflicts between analysts and those who raise capital for clients are carefully mediated and resolved by impartial arbitrators
5. Monitoring the success or failure of analysts’ current predictions about how companies will perform financially, in order to determine the value of future predictions

答案是A吗？？？

"GWD-29-Q17

The total market value of real estate in Altonville has steadily declined over the past four years.  This decline has meant that the overall figure on which the city’s property tax is based—the assessed value of that real estate—has also declined.  The percentage of assessed value that was paid as property taxes to the city, however, did not change from year to year during this period.

The information above most strongly supports which of the following?

A. The percentage of Altonville’s yearly revenue that comes from money collected in property taxes did not change over the past four years.

B. The percentage of Altonville’s yearly revenue that comes from money collected in property taxes has declined steadily over the past four years.

C. The amount of revenue that Altonville collected from property taxes was lower last year than it was four years ago.

E. Altonville will soon require property owners to pay a higher percentage of the assessed value of their property as property tax."

ANSWER: C

the overall figure on which the city’s property tax is based:--the assessed value of that real estate—是基数，减少了

The percentage of assessed value that was paid as property taxes to the city-----系数，就是要付的税的比例没变

所以俩个的乘积就是税，减少了
