不懂啊

我也觉的不像句子，倒装两个so同时和that 连用，中间连个东西都没有。什么啊。感觉语法突然崩溃了。

我明白了省略了was，但是不明白两个句子连接在一起为什么不用and。。。。。

我今天也是越到这个题，不知道为什么可以省略and
我觉得不是独立主格，因为这里明显是平行关系，两者共同导致了后面的事情。
用独立主格会有一点点不知道用意何在。


rong对这道题的这个问题是这么讲的
“wow! i would expect an "and" there, too. this is ... interesting.
i guess we should just remember this, as one of those one-off idiomatic constructions. there are other constructions (such as "the more X happens, the more Y happens") that don't seem to conform to normal grammar rules, either.”

另外，我觉得beatthegmat讨论这道题的时候有一个人说得也很好
“I realize that gmat do not test difficult grammar points but play logics on basic grammar. Calm down to realize logic”
相较而言，c确实是不logic的

so..., so..., that...

等于so...that的高级版本=）

说的有道理，姑且把它当成同时省略了and和was吧。
反正我觉得肯定不是独立主格，根本不是附属关系，很明显的平行关系。

From Ron@MHT:

If it's a correct answer, it's a correct answer.

This is a really, really old problem (over 10 years old, if it's in "set 27"). The current GMAT won't test such oddly constructed sentences, so it's best to forget about this one altogether.
-----------------
That's not really the issue. (Yes, I understand that you're joking.)

This sentence is as legitimate today as it was 10, 50, or 100 years ago.
The problem is that it's an unusual sentence construction, one that violates the dominant patterns of usage. Essentially, it's one giant "idiom" with which you'd have to be familiar in advance -- it's not the kind of thing you can figure out as you go. As such, it unfairly favors native English speakers, who have had much more exposure to "weird but correct" English sentences than have non-native speakers. Basically, it's almost like taking English from Shakespeare, or Spanish from Cervantes, or Italian from Dante, and throwing them at modern-day second-language speakers of those languages. Not fair.

In recent years GMAC has been cracking down on just about all SC items that unfairly favor native speakers -- especially weird sentence constructions like this one. So, it's not any less correct than it previously was, but you don't have to worry about it on the test anymore.
