Prep-1-135 that的省略

135.      (31742-!-item-!-188;#058&004710)

 

At one time, the majestic American chestnut was so prevalent that it was said a squirrel could jump from tree to tree without once touching the ground between New York State and Georgia.

 

(A) so prevalent that it was said a squirrel could

(B) so prevalent that a squirrel was said that it could

(C) so prevalent for a squirrel to be said to be able to

(D) prevalent enough that it was said a squirrel could

(E) prevalent enough for a squirrel to be said to be able to

请问：

A中it was said a squirrel could jump from tree to tree应该是主语从句且it做形式主语，但是作为名词性从句为什么引导词that可以省略？

但是同样是名词性从句的宾语从句往往靠that是否省略作判定依据的

顶一下

请教!

我觉得根据so that判断只有a and b

b中it有歧义

句意是王道~

不过也想问一下是不是这样的例子比较少见？谢谢~
