哇，这个帖子好久了，不过受益匪浅！总之So as to 强调的是单一的主谓结构，简单成分的句子！要看清楚它的逻辑主语和句子主语是不是一致~~

Congress is debating a bill requiring certain employers provide workers with unpaid leave so as to c ...

先说下结论：是的，逻辑主语是employers. OG19有类似的题目，关于谁是逻辑主语有解释，见标红字。
个人理解是后接的是从句，那么从句里的主语就是prisoner了。

The Eastern State Penitentiary was established in 1822 by reformers advocating that prisoners be held in solitary confinement and hard labor so as to reform them.


A. advocating that prisoners be held in solitary confinement and hard labor so as to reform them

B. who were advocating prisoners to be held in solitary confinement and hard labor for their reform

C. advocating solitary confinement and hard labor as the means to reform prisoners

D. who advocated solitary confinement and hard labor for the means of prisoner reform

E. advocating as the means for prisoner reform solitary confinement and hard labor


The sentence describes an effect-reform of prisoners-that those who founded a prison in 1 8 2 2 hoped would result from two types of punishment they advocated. The phrase held in solitary confinement and hard labor is problematic because held in hard labor is nonidiomatic. The adverbial phrase so as to reform them is wordy; it is also grammatically problematic because the subject of the passive-voice verb is prisoners, whereas the implicit subject ofthe verb to reform is presumably the punishments or the prison staff.
