而今迈步从头越

177. So poorly educated and trained are many young recruits to the United States work force that many business executives fear this country will lose its economic preeminence.

(A)  So poorly educated and trained are many young recruits to the United States work force that

(B)  As poorly educated and trained as many young recruits to the United States work force are,

(C)  Because of many young recruits to the United States work force who are so poorly educated and trained,

(D)  That many young recruits to the United States work force are so poorly educated and trained is why

(E)   Many young recruits to the United States work force who are so poorly educated and trained explains why

A, the best choice, uses the idiomatic form So X that Y to establish a cause/effect relationship between clauses X and Y. In B, the subject of the as ... as clause (young recruits) should be the subject of the main clause as well (e.g., they). Furthermore, main clauses following concessive clauses must express a contrasting notion: for example, "As ill-prepared as they are, they nevertheless find good jobs." C offers a wordy, convoluted because clause. In D, the sentence form X is why is unidiomatic (X is the reason why would be idiomatic but needlessly wordy and awkward). E exhibits subject-verb disagreement: young recruits ... explains why.

红色的粗体字部分是啥意思，不明白？

在有让步意义的句子后的主句要表达对比的意思。

例如：尽管他们准备得不好，但还是找到了好工作。

这一点倒是明白，可是这道题没有对比的意思啊？为啥这末说？

我觉得og的意思就是说, 主句应该表达对比的意思.而本题没有,所以B 错.

OG对B的解释是，as...as引导的从句往往需要表达和主句对比的概念，而如果选B的话，原题并没有对比的概念在里面，所以B错。而A很好，采用so...that结构表达了正确的因果概念，而倒装结构更表达了强调的意味。选A无疑。
