Q13:
Researchers hypothesize that granitic soil is the ideal construction material for the desert tortoise because it is not so hard that it makes burrowing difficult or so soft that it could cause tunnels to collapse.

A.so hard that it makes burrowing difficult or so soft that it could cause
B.hard enough to make burrowing difficult or soft enough as to cause
C.so hard as to make burrowing difficult or soft enough so it causes
D.as hard as to make burrowing difficult or as soft as to cause
E.too hard, making burrowing difficult, nor too soft, so as to cause

答案是A 我選D
因為我覺得D比A更平行
可以請問本題句意與該如何解嗎?
謝謝

I agree on D as well.

A has tense confusion. "makes" does not parallel with "could cause"

[A級垂耳兔]

答案當然是A ...B.C.E.答案錯的太明顯不再說明...
答案D 否定句的as....as要改成so....as
這個莫老上課有說過.....

[hughes0305]

肯定句:as...as
否定句:so...as

D的前半部對了　可惜後半段用的as...as,　錯了!

Researchers hypothesize that granitic soil is the ideal construction material for the desert tortoise because it is not so hard that it makes burrowing difficult or so soft that it could cause tunnels to collapse.

研究人員假設granitic soil 是desert tortoise理想的建材,　因為它並不會硬到使挖掘困難 或 軟到使洞穴崩塌

(專有名詞怕翻譯有偏誤　就省略囉)
總之前者是土壤後者是龜

D的前半部對了
可惜後半段用的as...as,　錯了!

後半段哪裡錯了？？？
前半段跟後半段不是用法一樣

[nemolee]

同意否定句的as....as要改成so....as

題目中找不到第二個 as ，是不是被省略了?(怎麼省略的)
還是被別的取代掉了? that 嗎? ==> not so as.....that ?

謝謝
